£125,000 road improvement scheme on Drumnaconagher Road, Annacloy

A £125,000 road improvement scheme on the U0107 Drumnaconagher Road, Annacloy is due to commence on Monday 4 December 2017.

The scheme will involve drainage works and the resurfacing of a 1.15 kilometre stretch of the U0107 Drumnaconagher Road from the Drumaghlis Road junction to a point 150 metres from the Teconnaught Road junction. This will deliver significant improvements to both the structural integrity and surface of the road. Some footpath resurfacing work will also be carried out in the vicinity of the Holy Family Primary School.

To facilitate the works the Drumnaconagher Road will be closed from Monday 4 December to Friday 22 December from 9.00 am to 4.30 pm during the week and open at weekends and evenings. The diversion route will be signed with traffic being diverted via Cumber Road, B2 Downpatrick Road and Teconnaught Road.

In order to help ensure the safety of road users and road workers the public is asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions and to drive with care when travelling through, or in the vicinity, of the works.

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

The dates and duration of the works will be dependent on the progress of the scheme and on favourable weather conditions.
