A section of the Mountain Road between Lheaney Road in Ramsey and the Bungalow will remain closed overnight and for most of Monday, June 9, due to damage caused by a fire.

The Department of Infrastructure (DOI) said the road surface was affected by the incident and now requires replacement.

A spokesperson said: ‘The Mountain Road cannot be accessed between Ramsey and the Bungalow. It is a closed road.’

Repair work is being carried out by DOI teams. No estimate has yet been given for when the route will reopen.
