Construction work on a £137,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme in Portadown is expected to commence on Monday 16 August.

The improvement scheme, which extends a distance of approximately 480 metres along Jervis Street from the junction of Church Street to West Street, includes resurfacing of the carriageway and upgrading of road drainage.

Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of Jervis Street, Portadown to the benefit of local residents and those who travel through the area. I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed."
