Speed restrictions will be in place on a busy Island highway from the start of next week.

24/7 20mph and 30mph limits are coming into force on New Castletown Road between Oatlands Road and Murrays Motorcycle Museum in Santon from next Monday (October 28) until no later than 6pm on Friday, November 8.

The Department of Infrastructure says it's whilst resurfacing work is carried out in the area.

Officials add traffic controls will be in place at off-peak times on working days during this period to minimise disruption to commuter traffic.
