While the island’s recent snow may not have impacted the majority of the island, the Mountain Road has certainly had its fair share.

The Department of Infrastructure have shared these stunning images of the ongoing work to clear the route.

These images were taken before the snowfall on Monday evening.

It’s been confirmed that the A18 Mountain Road, along with the Beinn-y-Phott Road and the Tholt-y-Will Road will remain closed until at least midday on Thursday (January 9).

The route has been shut since 10pm on Saturday evening after a blanket of snow covered the hills.

Crews from the Department of Infrastructure (DoI) and Civil Defence have been working to clear the affected area.

Sunday’s snowfall was mostly cleared by Monday, but a fresh snowfall since has undone their hard work, forcing teams back to square one.

The department has three gritters and a tractor-mounted snow blower operating on the Mountain Road.
