Mountain Road closes for TT 2025 race preparation

Sections of the A18 Mountain Road on the Isle of Man are to be closed to traffic over the next two weeks to prepare the route for this year's TT races.

Department of Infrastructure teams will be installing race equipment and carrying out maintenance work from Monday to Friday.

The road is the main route used by commuter traffic between the north of the island and the capital.

The 3.5 mile (5.7km) stretch from the Bungalow to the Creg Ny Baa will be closed from 09:30 BST.

On 14 to 17 April the 24-hour-a-day closure will then be from Ramsey to the Bungalow.

It comes after a four-week planned closure was postponed due to issues with asphalt equipment.

The resurfacing works, which were due to take place throughout April, will now go ahead after the Manx Grand Prix, which runs from 17 to 19 August.
