A section of the TT course in the Isle of Man’s capital is set to be closed for three hours on Sunday to allow for a pedestrian bridge to be installed.

The metal walkway will be erected over the carriageway on Bray Hill in Douglas ahead of the 2024 races.

The road will be closed between 06:00 and 09:00 BST for the installation to take place.

Spanning between St Ninian’s High School and the EVF garage, the structure will be in use during road closures for the races.

The footbridge will be installed by contractor Collins Steel on behalf of the Department for Enterprise.

Qualifying for the event starts on 27 May, with the final race scheduled to be held on 8 June.
