Next Monday will see a £115,000 resurfacing scheme between Hillhead Road and Ballymacarn Road in Ballynahinch get underway.
The work has been confirmed by the Department for Infrastructure, with this due to be completed by December 17 “subject to favourable weather conditions”.
With delays possible in the area, motorists are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys as diversions and temporary traffic restrictions will be in place. However, local access for residents and emergency services will be maintained at all times.
“This significant investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network to the benefit of local residents and those who travel through the area,” said the Department’s Minister, Nichola Mallon.
“I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much-needed works are completed,” she added.
