Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy has announced that a £170,000 major improvement and resurfacing scheme on three sections of the Kilskeery Road in Trillick is scheduled to begin on Monday 6 January.

Mr Kennedy said: "This scheme will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the carriageway on this main route between Kilskeery and Trillick."

Because of the restricted carriageway width, and to help minimise congestion between site works and other traffic, it will be necessary to close the B46 Kilskeery /Trillick Road to through traffic from 8am to 4.30pm each working day from Monday 6 to Friday 17 January.
