Road re-opens

Snow is causing problems on Manx roads again this morning.

The Mountain Road was closed due to a crash near the Bungalow earlier.

It has now re-opened (10.30am).

A tree also came down on Glen Mooar Road in St John's this morning.

Infrastructure gritters have been deployed Island-wide, but the department and police are urging motorists to allow extra time and drive with caution this morning.

Close-to-freezing temperatures, sleet and snow are forecasted to persist throughout the day.
