Edward Street in Portadown reopened to through traffic

Edward Street in Portadown has now reopened to two way through traffic.

This will ease access for local businesses and residents in the immediate vicinity and will have other knock-on benefits for road users travelling around the town.

This follows completion of resurfacing work and removal of the security infrastructure.

Roads users and pedestrians are asked to remain attentive because these changes may be unfamiliar at first. The Department of Infrastructure will be carefully monitoring traffic patterns to assess if any additional measures are required as it has been several years since Edward Street has been open to two way through traffic.

Parking legislation for the street is being brought forward in the coming months but as an interim measure, parking restrictions will be in place and enforced to facilitate road safety and traffic progression.  These will be supplemented with PSNI “No Waiting” cones during the initial period to highlight the areas where parking is not permitted.
