Good morning, everyone! After an overcast start to the day, the Met Office is forecasting mixed cloud and sun after 10.00 and blue skies from 13.00 onwards. Temperatures will range from 12 to 18 degrees, accompanied by light variable S winds.
Newport Road remains closed from Clarence Road in Wroxall to its junction with Lowtherville Road in Upper Ventnor. Diversion signs have been placed along the route to guide motorists through alternative roads. Access remains for residents, and The Graben is open on the Ventnor side of the works. Construction firm Clancy is on site, on behalf of Southern Water, working to repair the burst main, which runs beneath the affected stretch of road.
Apart from the Floating Bridge, all island travel services appear to be running to schedule, as of 07.30 this morning, and there are no further reported problems with either our roads or traffic.
