A key route in the County Armagh village of Ballymacnab is set to be improved thanks to a £400,000 investment.

Work will take place on Ballymacnab Road, from the Coolmillish Road junction to the Newtownhamilton Road junction. It will include carriageway patching, resurfacing and drainage improvements.

The Department for Infrastructure will begin work on the scheme on Monday 18 October.

An initial road closure for preparatory work and drainage investigation will be in place from 9am until 6pm each day from Monday 18 October until Friday 29 October 2021. 

A second closure will be required for final resurfacing in the weeks following this and details will be made available and variable messages signs updated on site when dates are confirmed. The road will be open in the evening and at weekends.

During periods of closure traffic will be diverted via the Newtownhamilton Road and Coolmillish Road.

Local access for residents and emergency services will be maintained although some delays may be experienced.
