Date published:
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that a £175,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme for Killyclogher Village, Omagh is commencing this week.
The proposed scheme will include 150 metres of full width resurfacing of C625 Old Mountfield Road including resurfacing of the double mini-roundabout junction, 90metres full width resurfacing of Knocknamoe Road from the mini roundabout junction to Knocknamoe Bridge, 420 metres full width resurfacing of C625 Tirquin Road from the mini roundabout junction to 30mph speed limit with 225 metres of footway resurfacing.
Minister Kimmins said:
“This substantial investment of £175,000.00 for the Killyclogher area will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users and demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. I would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out.”
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme, it will be necessary to implement nightly road closures on the affected routes at different periods commencing Monday 26 January between 7.00 pm to 6.00 am, Monday to Friday, for a two week period:
C625 Old Mountfield Road Closure
During this closure, traffic will be diverted via C0625 Old Mountfield Road to B0048 Mountjoy Road to B0048 Drumragh Avenue to B0004 Campsie Road to A0505 Killyclogher Road and vice versa.
C625 Tirquin Road Closure
During this closure, traffic will be diverted via U1701 Hawthorn Road to A0505 Killyclogher Road to C0625 Old Mountfield Road and vice versa.
C625 Knockamoe Road Closure
During this closure, traffic will be diverted via A0505 Killyclogher Road to C0625 Old Mountfield Road and vice versa.
Whilst only one road will be closed at a time generally, all three roads will be impacted during resurfacing of the double mini roundabout junction that interjoins all routes.
Lanes closures under traffic control will operate during daytime on the affected routes.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience. However, while steps have been taken to accommodate local access throughout the scheme, road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be substantially complete by Friday 6 February 2026, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
