Conwell Contracts has started work to develop a new storm sewer in Newry.
The work is taking place on New Street and Canal Street.
The proposed construction work involves laying approximately 165m of storm sewer and associated manholes to serve a new social housing development.
The first two sections of work on New Street, and the southern end of Canal Street are now complete. NI Water intends to commence the third and final section of work on the Northern end of Canal Street later this week.
In order for the works to be carried out safely a temporary road closure in place. During the final section of work, the northern end of Canal Street and the junction with New Street will be closed for up to two weeks. There will be no through traffic on the southern end of Canal Street during this time.
Grahame Millar Project Sponsor said: "NI Water is pleased to install this new storm sewer to facilitate the development of 15 new property units at Ogle House for social housing.
"The removal of storm water from the existing combined sewer will also increase the capacity of the existing sewers as well as reducing the likelihood for out-of-sewer flooding and environmental pollution in the future."
