Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that a £650,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on the Ecclesville Road, Murley Mountain, Fintona will commence on Monday 9 March 2026.
The scheme will include 2.2 kilometres of carriageway resurfacing, structural patching and localised drainage improvements. The works will extend from U1232 Corbally Road junction to Ballyness Road junction.
Minister Kimmins said:
“This substantial investment of £650,000 in the Fintona to Fivemiletown route will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users. This demonstrates my commitment to investing in and 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 road closure on the Ecclesville Road from Aghafad Road to Ballyness Road, Monday to Friday between 9.00 am to 4.30 pm daily, commencing Monday 9 March 2026 for a four week period.
During these times, signed diversionary routes will be in place via Ecclesville Road, Aghafad Road, Fintona Road, A4 Ballagh Road, A4 Edfield Way (Fivemiletown) and vice versa.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience however, while steps have been taken to accommodate local access and Translink bus and school services 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 3 April 2026, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
