Contractors are to start work on a £240,000 road improvement project in Carryduff, Co Down.

Work on the resurfacing scheme will start on Monday, 28 September.

The work stretches from Knockbracken Road South to a point 200 metres short of Manse Road junction, will deliver significant benefits for road users and should be fully completed by 27 October 2020.

To facilitate the works it will be necessary to implement a series of lane and road closures for the duration of the works as follows:
