Shirley Devlin, NIE Networks Customer Relations Manager for the area, said: "This work will improve the reliability of the electricity supply in the surrounding area but, as with any major infrastructure project, there will be some traffic disruption while work is ongoing. Where possible, we have put measures in place to avoid working during peak traffic hours in the morning and evening and we apologise to residents and motorists for any inconvenience which may occur."
