The Mountain Road will remain closed until at least 4.30pm tomorrow.

That's the latest from the Department of Infrastructure - which says the road will remain shut due to snow and ice causing unsafe driving conditions.

This closure also includes the Tholt Y Will Road, Beinney Phott Road, and Creg Ny Baa Back Road.

All of the roads will be re-assessed at 4.30pm tomorrow to see if they can re-open.

The Island currently has a yellow weather warning for wintry showers and ice until 10am tomorrow morning.
