Longrig Road will be closed to daytime through traffic from Monday 15 July to Friday 19 July 2013 to facilitate the works. During the closure all traffic will be diverted using Seven Mile Straight and Belfast Road.

Roads Service has carefully programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, however, road users should be aware that some delays are expected. Drivers should allow additional time when planning journeys in the area.
