The bridge in Laxey is due to be shut again – on the anniversary of the flood that destroyed the old one.
The structure collapsed on December 3 last year after a bus had stopped on it.
Work is scheduled to take place to apply what the Department of Infrastructure describes as ‘the finishing touches’ to the replacement bridge.
The bridge, which has been open to traffic since September 31 will close to enable the deck to be surfaced.
The DoI has applied for a road closure order to run from November 28 to December 9.
However, the DoI says the bridge is likely to be closed for no more than three days while the work takes place. The duration of the closure order is to allow for any possible delays caused by bad weather.
The final surfacing of the bridge cannot take place until other key elements of the scheme have been finished, the DoI says.
Manx Telecom is currently installing new telecommunications infrastructure to provide more residents and businesses in lower Laxey with access to high-speed broadband services.
The telecommunications work is scheduled for completion on Wednesday, November 30, at which point staff and machinery will move on site to lay the permanent asphalt surface on the bridge deck.
