ISLAND Roads have started another programme to improve Isle of Wight bridges.
Over 70 structures are due to be improved by December, and over 60 bridges and walls were improved last year.
This year's work has already begun, with schemes to waterproof Fairlee Tunnel in Newport and to partially rebuild the retaining wall at Gate Lane, Freshwater.
In July, work is scheduled to happen at Lower Calbourne Mill Bridge, meaning the 33-Tonne weight restriction can be removed.
At four locations, including Beaper Shute, Ryde and Scotchell's Brook, near Shanklin, work will see these small bridges lined with resin to strengthen the structures.
There will also be a scheme to strengthen Langbridge at Newchuch, which will begin after the main tourism season, so temporary traffic lights can be removed.
Island Roads is also planning to repair the cycletrack at Yarmouth Mill, where a temporary structure will be erected so the route remains accessible during most of the work.
Another scheme will install new piles at the Horringford Boardwalk, which carries part of the Newport to Arreton cycle route over a flood plain.
There will also be schemes to repair retaining walls, including The Terraces off Esplanade Road, Ventnor and at St John's Road and Whitepit Lane, Newport where the walls support raised footways.
