DoI carrying out resurfacing work for up to three weeks
It's hoped major work at Braddan Bridge will be as pain-free as possible for motorists.
A new one-way system is now in place for up to three weeks, with traffic heading out of Douglas being diverted along Saddle Road.
The road will be closed completely at the weekends.
Highways Liaison Officer Andy Kneen explains why the resurfacing work is being carried out:
Current financial climate 'frightening' for Manx farmers
Lack of on Island market and export costs among concerns for farming sector
Mountain Road closes today
Closure in place 24 hours a day until Friday
No impact on footpaths at Langness, says Manx BirdLife
Area to be managed for nature in perpetuity
Peel lifeboat responds to yacht with failed engine
Crews towed the vessel back to shore
