Construction work on a £250,000 improvement project is Banbridge, Co Down, is to begin on Sunday, 04 March, and is expected to be completed in three to four weeks.

The scheme on the A1 has been designed to improve safety for motorists. It involves the erection of a central reserve safety barrier between Bannview Road Bridge and Castlewellan Road Bridge on the Banbridge Bypass. To facilitate installation of the barrier, it is necessary to permanently close all crossing points along this stretch of the A1.

This is the third 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.

Diversions will be put in place during the works.
