A section of the Mountain Road will remain closed until tomorrow following a vehicle fire at the Gooseneck.
The fire caused “significant damage to the carriageway,” according to the Department of Infrastructure.
The DoI’s paver team will plane out and resurface both lanes before new line markings will be applied
It said: “Unfortunately the heavy rain forecast on the hills this afternoon has meant that final surfacing can only go ahead tomorrow morning.
“This section of road will remain closed until the planned closure of the whole Mountain Road (between Ramsey and Creg Ny Baa) at 9:30am tomorrow (Tuesday)to allow road furniture to be changed in readiness for the road to revert to two-way traffic.
“It is planned that the A18 Mountain Road will reopen to two-way traffic at 4.30pm tomorrow (Tuesday) as previously advertised.”
