A one-way system for traffic on Douglas Promenade is coming into force today.

It'll be in place between Victoria Road and Summerhill and officials are advising motorists to take extra time for their journeys with the route expected to be busy.

The change is part of alterations made to the whole Douglas Promenade refurbishment scheme which is aiming to get highways on the stretch finished by March 2021.

Meanwhile, those coming from King Edward Road will have access from Summerhill to be able to travel towards Onchan.
