Work is to commence on a £400,000 carriageway resurfacing project in Armagh.

The improvement work, which is expected to start on 26 July, will extend approximately 800 metres from the Blackwater River bridge to its junction with Old Bog Road, 175 metres along Collegelands Road from its junction with the A29 Main Street and all of Church View estate.

Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This significant investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network in to the benefit of all who use it. I would like to thank local residents and businesses in Charlemont in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed."
