Contractors McCallan Brothers has been selected to carry out essential bridge strengthening works in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh.

The work at Johnston Bridge South is to start on Monday, 18 July.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard said: "The work at the south bridge will be similar to work carried out at the north bridge in 2015. The work will entail the removal of the entire bridge surfacing on the bridge down to deck level, temporary relocation of existing services to expose the concrete deck surface, application of a new waterproofing layer and relaying of kerbs and new surfacing.

"Below deck level, some reinforced concrete repairs to the underside of the structure are required. The footway on the eastern side of the bridge will be widened to facilitate a cycle path."

Diversions will be put in place.
