Heavy rain forces Mountain Road closure

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Heavy rain overnight has left some treacherous driving conditions across the Island this morning.

The Department of Infrastructure says there are three specific problem areas.

The Mountain Road is closed currently due to a minor landslide last night, any clean up operation overnight was hindered due to very poor visibility.

The Ramsey coast road is also said to be bad, as is the main Douglas to Peel road, both roads are still open however.

Weather is expected to be much better throughout today, and it’s hoped the Mountain will be open shortly after 9am.
