Dandara says it has done its bit of the Ballasalla bypass and is waiting on the DoI to build a roundabout.
The response from the company follows Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall claiming that it is up to Danadara when the Ballasalla bypass will be built.
However, a spokesperson for the house builder told Manx.News: “Dandara has completed the bypass, as required by planning conditions, up to our site boundary with the roundabout.
“We have received no indication from the Department for Infrastructure when it will complete the roundabout and enable the bypass to be usable.”

The bypass, included as part of the Reayrt Mie development, is intended to ease congestion in the village and serve the new estate.
Asked for an update by John Wannenbugh (Douglas North), Mr Crookall said the scheme is a “privately funded development constructed in two phases and not a department initiative”.
He added: “The second phase leading from the A5 Douglas Road has been substantially completed but this is only to allow for the access into Phases 2 and 3 of the housing development for residents.
“The remaining phase (Phase 1) has no end date for completion as there is no commercial value for the developer to complete this section until they are ready to do so in their own time and budget.”
