The Department of Infrastructure advises that Peveril Road in Peel has been closed since the road collapsed on Thursday 20 February.
A void had formed along the line of a sewer, and whilst the sewer itself remains sound, it is likely that the void has been caused by the movement of groundwater along it’s line, washing out the fines in the fill material to create the void. This process may have been going on for years, and may have been accelerated by the recent very wet weather which has caused the water tables to rise.
Repair works started today, Monday 24 February. We anticipate that the road will re-open on Friday afternoon (28 February) but will update on progress. A diversion route is signed. The whole road up to the top entrance to Victoria Terrace will be re-surfaced in the coming months.
We are grateful to residents and motorists for their patience whilst the Department addresses this issue.
