Marine Drive - Wallberry Viaduct site

The former Tramway / footbath viaduct crossed the Wallberry ravine at this point. The foundation to the central pier can be seen in the middle of the photo. Partly engulfed by infill tipped when the road was cut into the cliff in the 1950s.

In the distance the Douglas side abutment of the viaduct can be seen

Standing on the carraigeway at Wallberry - the road markings are still just about visible though this section of the A37 has been out of use for around 30 years.

Marine Drive - Horse Leap Collapse

Close up of the road collapse at Horse Leap showing how the footpath and road edge has completely gone. At this point the road is also under threat from slates which fall from the cliff onto the carraigeway.

Recently it was suggested that the A37 could reopen as a relief road into Douglas which suffers severe traffic congestion at peak hours. The cost of repairs at Horse Leap was put at �2 million. It was not proceded with.
