Following the completion of the final approval processes, the major project to replace the river bridge in Pulrose has progressed onto the construction phase.
The scheme, which will be completed in time for the bridge to be in use for TT 2022, will replace the existing bridge structure, improve the highway, reduce the risk of flooding and protect vital infrastructure including the Island’s main power station. Additional COVID-19 protocols will ensure that work can be undertaken safely and fully in accordance with COVID-19 regulations and guidance.
Once COVID-19 restrictions allow, the initial works will begin, which will include;
• A temporary entrance into the Bowl car park - once completed, this entrance will allow access to the car park and the outside facilities of the National Sports Centre from Peel Road throughout the project.
• A temporary entrance to access the Riverside Trading Estate - once completed, the businesses on the estate will be accessed via an entrance next to the Advanced Engineering Training Centre in Hills Meadow (off Peel Road).
All businesses on the Riverside Trading Estate will continue to operate as usual and the Department asks that the public continue to support them.
