The road between the A5 Castletown By-Pass Road through to but not including Ballakighen Corner will remain closed until at least 11am tomorrow morning.

This is to allow investigations to continue after two people lost their lives following an incident in tonight’s Southern 100 practice session.

Access can be still be gained to Buchan and Castle Rushen School, as well as the S100 Campsite but this access will have to be via Castletown Square.

The Police said: ‘Please be advised that we are aware this will now cause a large amount of traffic in this area, especially during morning rush hour. Therefore if you have the capability to walk to your destination, then we would advise this to avoid the expected congestion.

‘Access can also be gained on the A3 Malew Road which takes you to cross four ways as another available route to you. We have provided the below map containing blue dots on to assist with explaining the road closure to you.

Please be patient and expect that your journey may take longer than usual.’
