Foxdale residents are celebrating this week - after the Main Road through the village reopened.
The A3 through the centre of Foxdale had been closed for nine months while resurfacing and drainage work was carried out.
It reopened temporarily for TT, but closed again after the festival.
Department of Infrastructure member Jason Moorhouse MHK says despite delays, the work will bring real benefits:

Over £2.7k raised by firefighters' 'Station To Summit' challenge
Onchan post office to stop trading
