History
Originally the Old Castletown Road, linking the centre of Douglas to the A5, it was rerouted (with the old road blocked off), taking over part of the A24 and a unclassified road to form a box around west Douglas. Recently, it was extended further, taking over the A23 to reach the A21.
Future
The Ordinance Survey map shows the A6 along the entire A21 to Cronk-ny-Mona. Signage, however still shows the A21 to be in existence.
