Road closed for urgent drainage repair works

A full closure is in place until Friday, with further works set to take place until 23 October

A route joining part of the north of the Isle of Man to Snaefell has been closed for urgent drainage repairs.

The Tholt-y-Will Road, which runs between Sulby Crossroads and the Bungalow on the A18, is set to remain shut until at least Friday 18 October.

The Department of Infrastructure said it would allow for the installation of a new culvert as well as gullies across the narrow switchback section of the road.

While the closure, which is in place from the entrance to Sulby Reservoir to Sulby Claddagh Road, would be lifted over the weekend, additional works would take place from Monday until 23 October.

After the culvert work on the switchback section of the road is complete, further planned drainage works will be carried out using daytime only closures.

Access to Sulby Reservoir is available from the Mountain Road, while residents in the valley can get to their properties from Sulby Village, the department has said.
