“Prior to the resurfacing it will be necessary to carry out drainage works at several locations along this scheme. To facilitate the works a lane closure will be required from week commencing August 21 until Friday, September 8.
“During the period of both the resurfacing and drainage works the road will be open to traffic overnight and at the weekends. Local access for residents and emergency services will be maintained at all times, however some minor delays may be experienced.”
The Department said it has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience, however, 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 all work will be completed by September 29, 2023. The Department said it will keep the public informed of any change.
