Maintenance works to the Ryde Pier entrance will affect access to evening ferry services over four nights in September.
The works will take place between 7pm and 5am from Monday September 2 to Wednesday September 4, and between 8pm and 5am on Thursday September 5.
Island Roads has scheduled the work to avoid both the main holiday season and also the Network Rail maintenance work which will see train services suspended from Friday September 6 until May 2025.
On the first three nights of the Island Roads work, access to the pier will be maintained under temporary traffic lights and users of the Wightlink FastCat service are advised to allow more time for their journeys up and down the pier. On the last night of work, the road will be closed to vehicular traffic so passengers will have to either use the train services or travel along the pier by foot for the last three FastCat services of the day.
An Island Roads spokesperson said:
“Timing the works overnight and outside of the main school holidays should greatly reduce the impact on the travelling public but we would nevertheless like to thank ferry users and Wightlink in advance for their understanding.”
