Plan ahead: essential roadworks coming to Onchan over the next several weeks

By ManxRadio Published 22 June 2026

If you regularly drive through Onchan, it's worth noting that roadworks are set to cause disruption in the coming weeks. Two separate infrastructure projects are scheduled to take place across the area, so it's best to stay informed and plan your journeys accordingly.

What roadworks are coming to Onchan?

Manx Utilities will be carrying out essential water maintenance at the Corkills roundabout for approximately two weeks. The works follow a recent fault that temporarily affected water supplies to several properties in the area. This is routine but necessary maintenance to keep the Island's water infrastructure running smoothly.

The second project involves Isle of Man Energy working on Whitebridge Road near Windermere Drive. Motorists should expect temporary traffic lights in this location, and the works are expected to last for several weeks. This project forms part of the Island's ongoing energy infrastructure improvements.

Practical tips for travellers

  • Allow extra time when travelling through Onchan during the roadworks period
  • Watch for temporary traffic lights on Whitebridge Road
  • Check for updates from Manx Utilities and Isle of Man Energy for any schedule changes
  • Consider alternative routes where possible during peak traffic times

While infrastructure work can be inconvenient in the short term, these projects are essential for maintaining and upgrading the services that keep the Isle of Man running efficiently. Stay patient, stay safe, and thanks for your understanding as these vital works take place.
