The Mountain road remains closed due to weather conditions.

That's the latest from the Department of Infrastructure - which says the route is shut due to ice.

It says staff are working on the Mountain today to try and get the route from Barrule Park to the Creg Ny Baa 'in a fit state to open'.

The adds the state of the road will be re-assessed and as soon as conditions improve, it will be re-opened.

Further, teams say it's likely the Beinn Y Phott & Tholt Y Will Roads may have to stay closed until some time after the Mountain Road opens.
