Work on a new £1 million bus facility in Co Down is almost complete.

The project, at Townsend Street and Kenlis Street in Banbridge, has been funded by the Northern Ireland Executive.

Transport Minister Michelle McIlveen said: "This is a major investment and it will provide the Banbridge and wider local community with enhanced and convenient bus facilities. It will also support the growing demand on our public transport infrastructure.

"The nine month project is on schedule to be complete on time next month and acts as a tangible demonstration of my commitment to improve public transport for everyone across Northern Ireland."

Clive Bradberry, Translink Infrastructure Executive said: "This new facility will help to make local bus services even more attractive by offering a more comfortable, enhanced travel experience for passengers travelling to and from the local area.

"It will also support and integrate with the wider local council development plans that have been on-going in Banbridge Town Centre to attract more visitors and support local businesses."
