Work is scheduled to take place at the beginning of December to apply the finishing touches to the replacement bridge in Laxey.
The bridge, which has been open to traffic since the end of September, will close for a short period to enable the deck to be surfaced.
The Department of Infrastructure has applied for a road closure order to run from 28 November to 9 December. In practice 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. 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 telecoms work is scheduled for completion by 30 November at which point staff and machinery will move on site to lay the permanent asphalt surface on the bridge deck.
