Two busy Ryde roads are to be improved during October.

Sections of Green Street are to be reconstructed and resurfaced in work starting on October 6 and expected to last seven working days.

Then, similar work is scheduled to take place in Queen’s Road from October 20 and also last seven working days.

Because the work seeks to address the underlying issues that have caused the surface to deteriorate quicker than expected, deeper-than-usual excavations are required meaning the roads must remain closed at all times during the projects.

If possible, the roads may be opened over the weekend as long as it is safe to do so. Pedestrian access will be maintained.

The work has been programmed for outside of the main summer season and also to make use of the school half-term break for the Queens Road site.

An Island Roads spokesman said: “It is sadly not possible to undertake work of this nature in busy roads without causing some disruption. However, addressing the issues that have caused deterioration of the road surface will hopefully reduce the need for future maintenance.

“We would like to thank residents and road users for their understanding and co-operation in advance.”

Please note that for various reasons, including ground conditions and inclement weather, the works are subject change.

Information boards will be placed at both locations prior to work beginning and updates will be given on Island Roads’ X (formerly Twitter) account. Residents will also receive letters giving more information about the work.
