Patrick Road was closed on Sunday after heavy rain triggered a landslip. The incident blocked both lanes, forcing an emergency road closure. Authorities have since extended the shutdown as work continues to clear the area and stabilize the ground.
The landslip happened during torrential downpours on Sunday, sending debris across the entire road. Police advised drivers to avoid non-essential travel that day due to widespread flooding on nearby routes. A yellow weather warning for heavy rain had already been issued by the Ronaldsway Met Office.
The landslip has disrupted travel along Patrick Road, with no confirmed reopening date yet. Engineers and crews are working to secure the site and remove debris. Further weather warnings suggest ongoing risks for the area.
