Chief Minister raises concerns about TT film production road closures in August
The Isle of Man TT film production is set to return to the Island next month, but not without a few bumps in the road — literally. Chief Minister Alf Cannan has written to the Department of Infrastructure expressing concerns about planned road closures and their impact on residents during the filming week.
The cast and crew behind the upcoming Isle of Man TT film will be back on the Island from Saturday, August 8, for a week-long filming stint on the famous TT course. This highly anticipated production continues to put the Island's motorsport heritage in the spotlight for a global audience.
Mr Cannan is calling for improved communication from the production team regarding road closures and alternative routes for residents. He's particularly concerned that the Orrisdale and Bollyn Roads won't be able to handle increased traffic volume during the closures, potentially creating bottlenecks across the Island.
The Chief Minister is also requesting that special arrangements be made for residents who need to catch early ferries or flights during the filming period. His intervention highlights the importance of balancing the Island's tourism and film production benefits with the practical needs of the local community.
Visitors planning to explore the Island during early August should stay tuned for official updates on road closures and detours to ensure smooth travel around the TT course during this exciting production period.
