Road to Close For ‘Essential’ TT Course Works

A section of the TT Course will close between Ballig Bridge and Cronk Y Voddy for up to a fortnight from 9:30am tomorrow.

The closure is to allow construction of an improved surface water drainage system on the lower section of Creg Willey’s Hill, between Glen Helen and Sarah’s Cottage.

This will require a full width excavation of the carriageway to install a culvert, which will bisect the road. Additional roadside drainage will also be installed.

Residential properties between Ballig and Glen Helen will be accessible from Ballig Bridge and the south at all times. Residential properties between Sarah’s Cottage and Cronk Y Voddy crossroads will be accessible from Kirk Michael and the north at all times.

TT

The work has been instigated by a request from race organiser ACU Events Ltd, supported by the Department for Enterprise.

It is intended to alleviate the risk of water seeping onto the carriageway causing a potential hazard to bikers in the TT and MGP Races.

This work has been identified as “essential to allow these events to run in 2025”.
