Work began, now put on hold
A major highways scheme in the north of the Island has been put on hold - four days after works began.
Repairs to pipes and drains on the Lezayre Road began on Monday this week (Sept 26), after a public consultation on the process last month.
A single-file traffic light system was being used to ensure the road could be kept open - but officials said there was insufficient space to continue working whilst ensuring public safety.
A further meeting between the Department of Infrastructure and local representatives determined the project could not be completed without road closures.
It's due to be restarted next year.
