Friday, 12 September 2025 06:37

One of the busiest roads in the north will see road closures from next week while roadworks take place.

The Department of Infrastructure says new cats eyes will be installed on the Ballaugh Road from Monday, September 15.

The work will see stretches close between Ballaugh village and Jurby, along the Jurby Coast Road via the Lhen to Bride, and then from Bride along the Bride Coast Road to the Grand Island site in Ramsey.

The closures will run from 9.30am to 4.30pm each weekday, and the DOI says it hopes to finish by Friday, September 26.
