Footbridge linking Manx Museum closed for safety improvements

The footbridge is being resurfaced

A footbridge linking the Isle of Man national museum and a major town centre car park has been closed for safety improvements.

The pedestrian walkway, which runs between the Manx Museum and Chester Street car park, is set to be resurfaced.

The project had to be postponed from Sunday due to issues securing the materials needed, the Department of Infrastructure said.

The bridge was reopened by 15:00 BST.

A spokeswoman for Manx National Heritage said alternative access to the museum was available via Kingswood Grove and the Crellin's Hill Garden Entrance during the work.
