Emergency Peel Road closure

Peel Road, between Quarterbridge and Braddan Bridge will shut overnight tonight and tomorow.

The emergency road closure will see the route closed from 6.30pm until 6am over the next couple of days.

The DOI says it's while the stretch is resurfaced ahead of this year's TT.

The department also says the surface of the road has 'recently deteriorated significantly' because of icy conditions earlier this year.

It says resurfacing is "necessary for both everyday traffic on one of the Island's busiest roads but also to allow TT racing to go ahead."

Access to Douglas Rugby Club will be available from the Braddan Bridge end of the closure
