Motorists have been warned of disruption on the western section of Isle of Man TT course for preparations ahead of the event.

The A3 is being closed daily between 09:30 and 15:30 BST from Ballig bridge to Cronk Y Voddy until 1 May.

It marks the latest in a series of road closures to get the course ready for the races, which start on 25 May.

The work follows a week-long full closure on the northern section of the road, between Sulby and Lezayre, for surfacing and line painting.

No through access is available via Glen Helen with traffic being diverted via the Peel to Kirk Michael Coast Road or the A18 Mountain Road.
