Work is to start on a £146,000 carriageway resurfacing and footway refurbishment scheme in Keady on Tuesday, 15 June.

The improvement work will extend approximately 500 metres from its junction with A29 Armagh Road to its junction with U8461 Glebe Road and will also include approximately 120 metres of Mullaghmore Park.

Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This much needed investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network to the benefit of all who use it."
