The Island's roads will be ready for TT 2011, according to Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne.
Workers in his department have been working around the clock to repair damage caused by two spells of snow and frost earlier this year.
Already, the department says it's fixed 5,000 potholes around the Island, but Mr Gawne acknowledges there is still plenty of work to be done.
He is appealing for motorists to be patient, although he says he understands some people may be frustrated by ongoing roadworks:
MHK fears former MHK's meat plant role creates 'transparency issue'
Bus drivers to hold off taking industrial action while talks continue
Petrol station to trial bodycams
Regulation of Health and Social Care Bill pushed back to 2027
