Here's when and why the Dual Carriageway is closing

The Isle of Wight's Dual Carriageway - or Medina Way, Newport - is to shut tomorrow morning (Sunday).

The closure is necessary to allow for grass cutting, Island Roads has said.

The southbound side is due to shut between its junctions with Dodnor Lane and the Curry's slip road.

Traffic will be diverted via Dodnor and Riverway, with vehicles re-joining the dual carriageway at the Curry’s slip road.
