Part of the A14 Tholt-y-Will Road will close for nine days from Monday while a cattle grid is replaced, according to BBC News Isle of Man.

The Department of Infrastructure said the closure would cover the stretch from the Bungalow to the Sulby Reservoir entrance, the BBC reported. Manx Wire has not seen the department’s original statement.

The road will be shut from 09:30 on Monday 16 November until 15:30 on Tuesday 24 November.

The A14 runs from the A18 Mountain Road down to Sulby. According to the BBC, the department said the grid being replaced is on the west side of the entrance to the Manx Electric Railway’s Bungalow Station car park.

While the work is under way, drivers will be sent along the Mountain Road, through Ramsey and on to the A3 Lezayre Road, the BBC reported.

The department added that the reservoir can be reached only from the Sulby end during the closure.
