A programme of road improvement works is set to get underway in the County Antrim village of Mosside.

The Department for Infrastructure is investing £308,000 to resurface the B67 Moyarget Road over a distance of 1.8km.

Work will begin on Monday 27 September and is expected to reach completion by Sunday 10 October. During these dates a road closure will be in operation Monday to Saturday between 7.30am and 7pm. Diversions will be in place as follows:

• Coleraine to Ballycastle – via Castlecatt Road and Straid Road

• Ballycastle to Coleraine – via Ballinlea Road and Mostragee Road / Carncullagh Road.

Local access for residents and emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Road users are advised to allow extra time for their journey and to follow the alternative routes which will be clearly signed on the approaches to the closure.

Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This significant investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this road and brings the total spend in the wider Derrykeighan / Mosside areas this year to approximately £659,000. I would like to thank the travelling public and local residents in advance for their cooperation while these much needed works are completed."
