An emergency closure will be in place on the Mountain Road tomorrow afternoon for 'urgent works' to take place.
The Department of Infrastructure says the route will be closed from the Bungalow to the Creg ny Baa from 1pm until no later than 3:30pm.
Owners of Victory Café have criticised the timing of the closure, saying it affects their lunchtime trade during one of the quietest months of the year.
The café will be accessible via Tholt y Will, and the Creg ny Baa via the back road or Hillberry.
