The main road between Lake and Apse Heath is being closed this evening (Thursday), for a reconstruction of a fatal crash.
Newport Road is to be shut for two hours from 5.55pm.
Hampshire Roads Policing Unit has said the popular route will close for a reconstruction of a fatal crash, which happened during the annual Scooter Rally.
A scooterist died in a collision near to the entrance of Sandown Airport in August, as previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio.
Drivers are urged to avoid the area tonight.
