The main route between the Isle of Man's capital and the north of the island has been reopened, police have said.

The A18 Mountain Road was closed between the Creg ny Baa and Ramsey overnight due to sheet ice.

A yellow weather warning was in place island-wide until 12:00 GMT.

A stretch of the northern section of the carriageway had been temporarily reopened on Sunday afternoon following a week of work to deal with a landslip.

The Andreas Road between Ballacorey Road and Bernahara Road was also closed due to the conditions.
