Plan your visit around evening closures on the Mountain Road this week
If you're planning to explore the Isle of Man's iconic Mountain Road this week, it's worth knowing about some temporary evening closures. From tonight through Thursday, the route will be shut during peak evening hours to allow essential maintenance work to take place.
The Mountain Road between Barrule Park in Ramsey and Creg ny Baa will be closed daily from 6:30pm until 10:30pm for roadside verge and hedge cutting. The Department of Infrastructure has scheduled the work to minimise disruption during the day, making evenings the ideal time for this essential upkeep.
Good news for visitors heading to popular destinations: alternative access routes remain open throughout the closures. If you're heading to the Bungalow, use the Tholt y Will Road, while access to Creg ny Baa is available via the Creg ny Baa Back Road. This means your evening plans don't need to change—just adjust your route slightly.
Whether you're a visitor keen to experience the mountain scenery or a local familiar with these routes, it's worth planning journeys across the island accordingly. The closures are temporary and limited to evenings, so daytime visits to the Mountain Road remain unaffected. Once the maintenance is complete, you'll be able to enjoy the route in pristine condition.
