Kimmins announces £450,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme for the A32 Mossfield Road at Sidaire
Date published:
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that a £450,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on the A32 Mossfield Road at Sidaire, between the Drumbulcan Road and Makenny Road, will commence on Monday 2 February 2026.
The proposed scheme will include full width resurfacing of the carriageway plus additional substructure patching to strengthen the carriageway at various locations.
The Infrastructure Minister said:
“This substantial investment of £450,000 on the A32 Mossfield Road, the trunk route linking Omagh and Enniskillen will deliver significant benefits for 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 a daily road closure on Mossfield Road from B46 Ballinamallard Road to C413 Makenny Road, between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm for a two-week period. During this period, two traffic diversions will be in operation:
Irvinestown and Omagh bound traffic travelling from Enniskillen will be diverted through Lisnarick, Ederney and Lack via the A47 Killadeas Road, B72 Manoo Road, B4 Letterboy Road, B4 Edenamohill Road, B4 Drumlish Road.
Motorists should use the B534 Drumadravy Road to travel to Irvinestown from the above route.
- Enniskillen bound traffic travelling from Omagh will be diverted in Dromore at Old Creamery Road Roundabout through Trillick, Kilskeery and Ballinamallard via B46 Galbally Road, B46 Kilskeery Road, B46 Trillick Road and the B46 Enniskillen Road. Motorists should continue to use the A32 Tummery Road to travel to Irvinestown.
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 16 February 2026, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
