A £200,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme has commenced in Newtownards.

The works, on the Glenbrook Road/Glenburn Road, will extend a distance of approximately 950 metres and includes some short stretches of footway, will deliver significant improvements to both the structural integrity and surface of the road.

Work will be carried out, Monday to Friday, between the hours of 9.00 am and 4.30 pm and is expected to last for seven weeks.

The initial preparatory work will be carried out under a rolling lane closure with temporary traffic control, however, due to the nature of the scheme it will also be necessary to operate road closures within the seven week work programme. The Department will keep the public informed of closures in advance and details of diversions will be clearly signposted.

Temporary traffic restrictions will be in place throughout the course of the works. The Department has programmed the work and traffic management arrangements to minimise any inconvenience, however, road users should expect some delays and are advised to leave additional time when planning any journeys.

Completion of the work by 11 October 2019 is dependent on favourable weather conditions, however, the Department will keep the public informed of any change
