Part of Mountain Road closes for TT preparation

The northern section of the A18 Mountain Road on the Isle of Man is to close later for a second week of TT preparation ahead of this year's races.

The route, linking the Manx capital to the north of the island, is closing from Ramsey Hairpin to the Bungalow.

It follows work to install signage and race equipment on the south part of the route last week.

The 24-hour-a-day closure is in place until Thursday.

It comes after a four-week closure for resurfacing works was postponed due to issues with asphalt equipment.

Those are now due to go ahead after the Manx Grand Prix, which runs from 17 to 19 August.
