£155,000 road improvement scheme at Movilla Road, Newtownards
Date published:
A £155,000 road improvement scheme at B0172 Movilla Road, Newtownards is due to commence on Tuesday 8 May 2018.
The resurfacing scheme will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the carriageway on a 1.2km section of this important ‘B class’ road in Newtownards. Work is expected to be completed by the end of May.
To help ensure the safety of road users and contractors it will be necessary to operate temporary traffic signals and road closures during the course of the improvements.
Traffic seeking access to Movilla Road will be diverted via Upper Gransha Road, Donaghadee Road and Movilla Road.
Local access will be maintained and all diversions and restrictions will be clearly signposted.
The planned dates for the scheme are subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
The works operations and traffic management arrangements have been carefully programmed in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, however motorists should be aware that some delays may be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.
