One-way system removed on Douglas prom

Two-way traffic is returning on Douglas Promenade today.

It's among numerous changes to road layouts in the capital which were announced by the Department of Infrastructure last week.

It means motorists will be able to travel in both directions down the stretch with a 20mph speed limit remaining in force and parking along the promenade walkway will also re-open.

Pedestrian access will be maintained along the promenade walkway with the exception of a short section on Harris Promenade, where a pedestrian diversion route will run in front of the Villa Marina.

Traffic lights will also be in place, for a distance of approximately 120 metres, between Castle Mona Avenue and The Esplanade.

Disabled parking and loading bays on the walkway will remain, and more parking will become available on the northern end - traffic will continue to access the promenade via Victoria Street for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile, the Summerhill junction is also re-opening today but Broadway will remain closed until the end of October.
