Ballaugh Bridge, Road bridge on A3 highway in Ballaugh, Isle of Man.
Ballaugh Bridge is a stone arch crossing over the River Dhoo located in Ballaugh village on the Isle of Man. The structure features a characteristic hump and metal railings positioned at a chicane point near the western edge of the village square.
The crossing underwent widening and flattening modifications during the 1950s while keeping its distinctive hump for racing purposes. These changes made it a central feature of the modern racing circuit.
The crossing marks a highlight of the TT races where motorcycle riders perform aerial stunts that draw crowds of spectators. The moment has become a defining feature of what people expect to see during the racing event.
The best time to visit this location is during the TT racing event when viewing areas near the crossing are set up for spectators. The Raven pub nearby offers refreshments and a convenient place to rest between viewing periods.
This crossing remains the last surviving hump-backed structure on the racing circuit after similar bridges were removed from the course decades ago. It preserves this unusual feature that makes it a final remnant of its kind on the track.
