Director of Highways Bruce Hannay says the Department of Transport is having to prioritise repairs to the Island’s roads after recent snow and ice.
After being drenched with water, frozen and then stretched by the ice, many road surfaces have been left broken and battered.
Department of Transport work gangs are out and about fixing the damage, but Mr Hannay says it’s a situation which isn’t going to be resolved quickly.
He says the most serious problems are being addressed first with emergency repairs:
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Douglas man accused of causing death by dangerous driving committed
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
