Up to eight closures are scheduled for surveying works throughout December which the chamber says will disrupt trade in the busy lead-up to Christmas.
The DoI says the closures occur outside of commuter periods meaning there'll be no increase in traffic on alternative routes between Ramsey and Douglas.
Chair Keith Dalrymple says the decision 'came as a blow':
