Six options are being considered to improve traffic access during the TT.

That's according to Infrastructure Minister, Tim Baker MHK, who was asked about the matter in the House of Keys today by Douglas Central MHK, Chris Thomas.

Three of the concepts would involve extending and widening the current access road, the other three ideas being looked into are an underpass from the police access road to Greenfield Road, an underpass connecting Ballaquayle Road and Ballanard Road and a flyover between Saddle Road to Braddan Cemetery.

Addressing the house, Mr Baker says it's important to have several options to look at:
