Construction work is to start on a £230,000 road improvement project in Hillsborough, Co Down.
The scheme on the A1 Dual Carriageway involves the erection of a central safety barrier between Hillsborough Roundabout and the junction at Dromore Road. To facilitate installation of the barrier, it is necessary to permanently close all crossing points along this stretch of the A1, including the right turn into Moira Road.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard said: "This is the first in a number of incremental improvements which may be progressed in advance of the delivery of the full A1 Junctions Phase 2 scheme. The works, when complete, will deliver benefits for all road users for many years to come."
Work on the road improvements is due to commence on 06 February and is expected to be completed within six weeks.
Traffic diversions will be put in place.
