The Department of Infrastructure says with the Island’s wettest summer on record, it’s had its work cut out to keep the Mountain Circuit in good condition.
Torrential downpours have led to widespread damage across the entire road network which has meant a huge workload for the department’s workers.
In one case, a road surface had to be lifted to allow the water to drain off before being resurfaced.
Director of Highways Richard Pearson says it’s been tough going:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two arrests made following reports of man being assaulted near Tesco
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Police say Tesco and car park will remain closed while investigation continues
