From this morning, Monday 7th March, drivers who use Lake Hill will be affected by a four-week temporary one-way restriction, as WightFibre continue to install their network across the Island.
Between its junctions with The Fairway and Broadway in a westerly direction, Lake Hill will be affected by the one-way restriction until 6.30pm on Friday 8th April, or when the works have been completed.
The restriction on the busy thoroughfare is required to protect the safety of WightFibre workers.
Island Roads say an alternative route will be sign posted locally.
