BRIDGE Road in Cowes has been temporarily closed due to a burst water main.

Island Roads has closed the road, from its junction with York Street to its junction with St Andrew Street, to allow Southern Water to carry out repairs.

A diversion will affect Bridge Road, Medina Road, Mill Hill Road, Newport Road and Arctic Road, although reasonable facilities will be provided to allow access to adjacent premises.

The road will be closed for a maximum of five days or until remedial works have been completed, whichever is sooner.
