arronc 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Just a quick heads up that the road is closed between the roundabout at governors hill and the entrance to Govenors Hill Estate. Traffic backed up everywhere due to Johnny watterson's lane also being closed to through traffic. In short : Avoid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
inspector 12 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Slow but nasty accident at Governors. From Douglas, there is no left turn up to Governors Hill estate. From Onchan, no right turn. No speculation from me - enough said - more will come out from official sources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
