Work is to start on a £200,000 carriageway road widening and traffic calming scheme in Downpatrick, Co Down.

Preliminary works have already been carried out to facilitate the relocation of telecommunication equipment. The main site works are due to begin early February for approximately eight weeks. The scheme is expected to be substantially complete before Easter 2017.

In order to facilitate the works and ensure the safety of workers and the public, lane closures and a short road closure will be required to complete the works. The actual dates of the planned closure will be published in advance of the commencement of any road closure.
