£110,000 resurfacing scheme on Reilly Street, Banbridge

A £110,000 carriageway and footway resurfacing scheme on Reilly Street, Banbridge is due to start on Monday 6 August 2018.

The works will involve resurfacing of the carriageway and footways on Reilly Street, from Scarva Street to Downshire Road, a distance of approximately 400 metres. On completion, this scheme will deliver significant improvements to both the structural integrity and surface of the road and footways.

To facilitate the works Reilly Street will be closed from its junction with Scarva Road to its junction with Downshire Road from 7.30 am on Monday 6 August 2018 to 6.00 pm on Friday 31 August 2018.  The road will remain open at weekends.  During the road closure access will be maintained for properties fronting Reilly Street and also for Reilly Park, Reilly Court and Victoria Park.

A diversion route will be signed with traffic being diverted via Scarva Street, Downshire Place and Downshire Road.

The Department has programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise any inconvenience to the public, however, drivers should expect some delays and are advised to leave additional time when travelling in the area.

Work is expected to be completed by 31 August 2018 however this will be dependent on favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
