Ballaugh Bridge is part of the Snaefell Mountain Course used since 1911 for the Isle of Man TT and from 1923 for the Manx Grand Prix Races. The Bridge was subject to road widening and reprofiling during the winter of 1953/1954 for the 1954 Isle of Man TT Races including the removal of a garden wall of the adjacent Ballaugh Railway Hotel (now the Raven Hotel). Ballaugh Bridge is the only remaining hump-backed bridge on the Snaefell Mountain Course after the removal of Sulby Bridge in the 1920s and Ballig Bridge in 1935. A nearby road-side memorial to Karl Gall, a member of the works BMW Motor-Cycle team,[5] after he crashed at Ballaugh Bridge during practice for the 1939 Isle of Man TT Races and died later from his injuries.
