Work is to commence on a £196,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on Main Street, Cloughmills (Phase 2) will commence on Monday 26 July 2021.

The first phase of this scheme was carried out between 28 June and 10 July 2021. The total works will extend for a distance of approximately 1 kilometre and will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the road.

To facilitate Phase 2 of the works, which start on Monday 26 July, a road closure (Monday to Saturday) will operate between the hours of 7.30 am and 6pm from Monday 26 July until Tuesday 3 August 2021. During these times a diversion will be in place via Main Street-Drumbare Road-Lisnasoo Road-A26 Frosses Road-Drumadoon Road and vice versa.
