Hold on a minute, the DOT in there original statement said they would be keeping and maintaining the exsisting road so as not to alter the TT coarse.However it was reported that after dicussions with the ACU,the ACU indicated on the grounds of safety they would wish to use the new road as part of the TT coarse. The DOT responded by saying good we can dig it up and grass it over thus saving maintenance monies.
Without seeing the actual plans its difficult to comment from a distance on the overall effect on the coarse but Governors Bridge/Nook is more of a TT coarse landmark than other areas were road improvements have occurred
