Project begins to improve roads around airport

A project is underway to improve the roads around the Islands airport.

The A5 Douglas Road is being resurfaced between the smaller airport exit roundabout towards Castletown and the Ballasalla side of the main roundabout.

The initiative will take around four weeks - temporary lights will be in place during work on the south side roundabout and traffic calming measures in place when the initiative moves up to the dual carriageway section.

The Department of Infrastructure says when work on the main roundabout starts it'll be done between 10pm and 5pm each day, outside the operating hours of the airport.

Full details of the project have been published by Highway Services on the DOI Facebook page.
