Work is to commence on a £351,000 carriageway resurfacing project on the Moyarget Road, Derrykeighan on Monday 02 August.

The works will extend for a distance of approximately 2 kilometres and will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the road.

Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This investment will greatly improve this section of the road network for 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."
