Two-way traffic to return to Douglas Prom

Douglas prom will open to two way-traffic next week - three months ahead of schedule.

Since July, both the Summerhill and Broadway junctions have been closed, with one-way along the whole length of the Promenade.

It was planned to re-open the junctions on Tuesday, September 8, with the southern half of the promenade  to stay one-way until December.

However, following positive consultation and discussions with businesses, the project team have worked with the contractor, Auldyn Construction, to reinstate two-way traffic.

The Broadway junction will remain closed until the end of October, but the Summerhill junction will open on time on 8 September, this will allow traffic to travel south on the promenade either down Summerhill Road or along King Edward Road. 
 
The full length of the promenade will continue to be subject to a 20mph speed limit. 

 As the junction will now stay closed when it was going to reopen to traffic, albeit under four-way traffic light control, the construction of the new Broadway junction will be completed in its entirety and will be opened to traffic by the end October 2020.

Church Road Marina is unaffected by these changes and will reopen as planned in mid-November 2020.
