The Island's roads are being made ready for TT 2015.

Preparation works have been scheduled from today; including the closure of the mountain road for a week.

Improvements will allow for road resurfacing and re-profiling of the carriageway on the Keppel Gate section of the course.

There will also be road lining, ditching, signage erection and sign maintenance works carried out.

The road is due to re-open this Sunday.
