Good news for Douglas commuters as major road reopens ahead of schedule
If you've been battling traffic delays around Douglas over the past week, there's some welcome relief on the horizon. The Old Castletown Road at White Hoe is set to partially reopen from 7am on Thursday, 19 March — several days earlier than originally planned, thanks to Manx Utilities completing their wastewater maintenance work ahead of schedule.
The road has been completely closed for the past week and a half while essential work on the wastewater main took place. During this time, the closure has caused significant travel disruptions across the capital, affecting residents, visitors, and businesses alike. The good news is that Manx Utilities' efficient progress means one-way traffic flowing into Douglas will resume from Thursday morning.
One-way traffic will continue in this direction until the road fully reopens as originally scheduled on Wednesday, 25 March. This phased reopening allows engineers to continue work safely while restoring some much-needed traffic flow through the area.
If you've been planning a visit to Douglas or need to travel through the capital, this reopening marks a turning point for smoother journeys. Keep an eye on local updates for any further developments as we approach the full reopening date.
