Almost half a million pounds is being spent on major refurbishment work to the government-owned linkspan in Douglas Harbour:
That's the Infrastructure Minister - the large hydraulic cylinders that operate the structure, and allow vehicles to load and unload, are at the end of their operational life.
A new unit is due to be fitted by the end of the month - the cylinder that's removed will be reconditioned and then reinstalled later this year.
Phil Gawne is describing the £450,000 work as "mid-life refurbishment" and says it's not a total overhaul due to finances:
