Progress Update: White Hoe Wastewater Works – Road Reopening and Updated Traffic Management

Work at White Hoe has progressed well and ahead of programme, with key construction stages completed. As a result, the site has reached the point where a full road closure is no longer required.

The works involve replacing a large access cover above a deep underground valve chamber that forms part of the wastewater main between Douglas and Meary Veg. The cover must be reinstated in precisely aligned sections, with new concrete requiring controlled curing to ensure long‑term structural integrity. During this period, the works will move to a single‑lane arrangement.

From the morning of Thursday 19 March, Old Castletown Road will reopen to allow one‑way traffic into Douglas.

Subject to successful concrete curing and routine safety checks, the road remains on schedule to fully reopen on 25 March.

Manx Utilities will continue to coordinate activity on site to minimise disruption and maintain access for residents and businesses where it is safe to do so.
