Proposed Projects – Capital
Road Name: East Quay Location: Peel Budget estimate: £2,275,000
This project consists of reconstruction of the full width of the carriageway and footways, from the junction of Shore Road/Victoria Road on Peel Promenade, along East Quay through to Peel harbour bridge. It will also include Station Place and the pedestrianised area fronting the House of Mannanan.
There is also a requirement to construct a flood prevention wall along a short section of the quayside in the vicinity of the House of Mannanan. On-street parking is to be retained, but there will be less spaces than present so as to enable footway widths to be increased to enhance the pedestrian environment. The aim is to create a better sense of place whilst recognising that this is still a working harbour and will include high class materials on the landward footway.
Manx Utilities are intending to install a large diameter pumping main, and a return flow main along the length of the East Quay. These pipes will be laid in advance of the highway reconstruction scheme which will follow on immediately after the completion of the pipe laying.
The finished scheme will provide a carriageway and footways with a design life of 40 years which are capable of meeting traffic requirements throughout their proposed life span.
Please refer to the Highway and Structures 0-2 Year Rolling Programme for the proposed start and completion dates.
Proposed Projects – Strategic Maintenance
Road Name: May Hill/Queens Pier Road Location: Ramsey Budget estimate: £165,000 This project consists of the resurfacing May Hill between Coronation Park and Lheaney Road. The road surface has been highlighted as presenting an issue due to rutting and surface deterioration on the racing line by ACU. The section of road also has been highlighted as having a poor ride quality for general traffic.
The finished scheme will provide a road with a design life of 15 years and which is capable of meeting traffic requirements throughout its proposed life span.
Please refer to the Highway and Structures 0-2 Year Rolling Programme for the proposed start and completion dates.
Road Name: A5 Douglas Road Location: Ballasalla Budget estimate: £300,000 This project consists of the resurfacing the roundabout at the airport entrance and the section of road between the airport entry and exit roundabouts. The roundabout has been suffering from a lack of skid resistance causing low speed accidents. Over the last two years cost effective remedial measures including surface dressing and retexturing have been used to improve the skid resistance, but these have not be wholly successful. There are also concerns that the surface profile of the roundabout is a contributory factor to the accidents. The road is suffering from poor ride quality and the northbound lane has a failed service trench causing a depression in the carriageway.
The scheme will plane and overlay the existing carriageway surface to remove and replace 50mm of surface course. The failed trench will be excavated and re-compacted before the road is resurfaced.
The finished scheme will provide a road with a design life of 15 years and which is capable of meeting traffic requirements throughout its proposed life span.
Please refer to the Highway and Structures 0-2 Year Rolling Programme for the proposed start and completion dates.

Road Name: Kirk Michael Village Improvements Location: Kirk Michael Budget estimate: £250,000 This project consists of the minor improvements to increase safety through the village and reduce traffic speeds. The scheme will include new gateway features at the village extremes and introduction of a 40mph buffer zone to assist with speed reduction on the approach to the village.
The scheme will also improve the junction at Douglas Road Corner and Peel Coast Road which will help with speed reduction. Where possible the pavements in the village will be widened to improve the sense of place and public safety. Improved road lining and signing will be included to further improve safety.
Please refer to the Highway and Structures 0-2 Year Rolling Programme for the proposed start and completion dates.
Road Name: Beach Road Location: Port St Mary Budget estimate: £275,000 This project consists of the resurfacing of Beach Road from its junction with Station Road to Gansey Mill, a distance of approximately 780m. The road has been assessed as having poor ride quality and low residual life.
The finished scheme will provide a road with a design life of 15 years and which is capable of meeting traffic requirements throughout its proposed life span. Overlaying the road will improve the surface and ride quality.
The work will be carried out under localised traffic management and a road closure.

Micro Asphalt Programme
Micro asphalt improves the texture of the road surface, helping to disperse water from vehicle tyres during wet weather and reducing the likelihood of skidding. It also seals cracks in the surface and, as it can be applied in varying thicknesses, is used to improve ride quality by levelling ruts and depressions.
