Island Roads postpones Sandown excavations citing adverse weather conditions

After careful consideration, works that were due to start at Lake Hill and Broadway, Sandown next week have been postponed due to the current weather being experienced as well as the predicted weather forecast.

The decision has been taken in order to prevent delays to work on site which would have potentially had a corresponding impact on local residents should the work period need to be extended.  

The works will be postponed to a future date
An Island Roads spokesperson said,

“The nature of the work required on site requires deep excavations which will rapidly fill with water in periods of heavy rain. 

“This naturally causes a delay to work on site and we are anxious not to unnecessarily prolong our work in what is a busy, well used area.

“The works will be postponed to a future date when we can be more certain of a good weather window in which to work and we will let residents know as soon as that timeframe has been confirmed.”
