Following a landslip on the Mountain Road over the festive period, a section of the Mountain Road was shut and the closure has now been extended until Sunday (January 7).
There have been emergency works done over the holiday period to make this area safe, but following assessment by senior engineers, work was extended to include construction of a new roadside wall to prevent further debris falling onto the carriageway.
The temporary closure order on the northern half of the A18 Mountain Road between Barrule Park and the Bungalow which ran until today (January 2) has had to be extended up to 6pm on Sunday.
Mountain Road works
The extended closure is to allow completion of the new wall.
A further announcement will be made when an opening time is confirmed.
Other routes
Motorists travelling between the north and Douglas can continue to use the southern end of the road between Creg Ny Baa and the Bungalow, via the Tholt Y Will Road.
Both the Creg Ny Baa and Victory Cafe will continue to be accessible from the Douglas and Sulby routes.
