Horsebridge Hill will remain open for buses

From Monday 12th May Horsebridge Hill will be closed northbound to traffic travelling from Newport to Cowes. This is for road works and a diversion will be in place for all traffic travelling northbound. The road is open for traffic travelling from Cowes to Newport.

To minimise disruption and through working in partnership with the Isle of Wight Council and Island Roads, it has been agreed that between 0600 and 2000 each day, buses and emergency vehicles only will be allowed  to travel northbound from Newport to Cowes. 

Between 2000 and 0600 we will manage potential delays diverting via Forest Road and a shuttle bus will operate from Newport Bus Station to St Mary's Hospital and back again after 2000 until end of service.

Anyone wishing to get to Cowes northbound from St Mary's to Place Road, Northwood, outside of 0600-2000 will need to catch a bus into Newport and change to the Cowes-bound bus at the IW College stop.

If you are planning on traveling between Newport and Cowes during this time the bus will be the best mode of transport. We recommend allowing extra time for your journey.
