Cats' eye replacement next week

The Department of Infrastructure says it'll need to close a busy road as it fits new cats eyes.

The replacement programme will see St Marks Road close from 9.30am to 3.30pm - the DOI says it's set aside September 9 to 19 although it will only need a few of those days, with the rest reserved in case of bad weather.

It'll shut in two stages - from Ballasalla to St Marks and from St Marks to the Braaid.

Once the work's complete there, the department says its contractors will start Cooil Road from the Braaid roundabout to the Cooil Methodist Chapel between September 16 and 20.
