There will be major maintenance work commencing in Onchan next Monday to allow for a raft of improvements to be made.
Among the works will be an upgrading of traffic signals, foot-way reconstructions and carriageway refurbishment works.
The new modern signal installation will improve traffic flow, particularly when the Mountain Road is closed.
Work will be carried out in phases with the first month requiring a road closure of Avondale Road between Stoney and Main Road, Onchan.
It is planned to have the overall scheme completed by mid-December 2012.
The Department will issue further information as the works progress.
