Motorists have been warned of disruption on a key route off the Isle of Man's Mountain Road for nine days while a cattle grid is replaced.

The closure will be in place on a section of the A14 Tholt Y Will Road, which connects the A18 to the northern village of Sulby from 09:30 GMT on Monday until 15:30 on 24 November.

The Department of Infrastructure said the road would be shut from the Bungalow to the Sulby Reservoir Entrance.

Diversions will be in place via the Mountain Road, through Ramsey, and the A3 Lezayre Road during the closures.
