Mountain will stay shut, say police

Tuesday, 28 May 2024 10:42

Police say the Mountain Road will remain closed this morning because of low cloud.

The route shut between the Bungalow and the Creg ny Baa Back Road earlier after a crash.

Officers had been checking whether it was safe to reopen.

However, on social media they say it'll remain close while they monitor conditions.

The Mountain Road is currently closed from Ramsey to the Creg-Ny-Baa. The visibility is extremely poor. As such, the difficult decision has been made to keep it closed this morning. We'll monitor conditions and re-open when safe. #knowyourlimits pic.twitter.com/4ueUYp1CtD
