An emergency closure has been granted for a section of road between Ballacraine and Greeba will be closed from tomorrow until Friday.
The road will be closed between Ballacraine traffic lights to a point approximately 300 metres to the east of Ballacraine (in the direction of Greeba).

The DoI said: “A recent inspection has identified that many of the affected trees are either already dead or have otherwise deteriorated to such an extent that they are in danger of falling of their own accord, especially in high winds.
“This work is necessary to maintain the safety of road users.”
