Update on roads closed due to flooding

Fri, 04 Dec 2015

Extreme flooding has caused serious damage to roads across the Island.

Infrastructure is working towards a return to normality this morning - especially in facilitating traffic heading into Douglas.

The Mountain Road is closed, Pulrose Bridge is closed due to extreme flooding - Quarterbridge to Braddan Oak is open.

Traffic heading in from the north of the Island will have to travel through Laxey or Kirk Michael - avoiding lower Laxey.

Anyone driving from the west can journey in via Peel Road - a diversion is in place towards Alexander Drive into Douglas.

Southern traffic is asked to use the Kewaigue route in from the top of Anaghcoar - diversions will be in place there too.

Some minor roads remain closed.

People are asked to set off early to avoid delays and monitor social media for more information.
