Council roads chiefs were hoping to have the main road south of Whiting Bay reopen today (Saturday) after a landslide last weekend.
The landslide was caused by the collapse of a rock face at Largybeg, known locally as The Gherry, which partially spilled on to the road smashing trees on the way. However, the majority of the boulder fall was halted by the substantial concrete wall which was built some years ago for just such protection.
