Work continues to reopen roads closed by storm

Wednesday, 10 December 2025 14:11

The Department of Infrastructure says it's continuing to try to reopen roads closed after Storm Bram swept the Island yesterday.

In an update on Facebook, it says Shore Road in Rushen remains closed but should reopen later, while Laxey Promenade will be shut until around 3pm.

Jacks Lane in Maughold is closed and may not reopen until tomorrow, while workers are trying to remove a fallen tree at Mullinaragher in St Marks.

The DOI also says it's removed a tree at the Garey in Lezayre but the Sulby River ford remains impassible.
