An important carriageway in the County Antrim village of Toome is set to undergo improvements.

The Department for Infrastructure is investing £370,000 to resurface a section of the B18 Creagh Road from Aughrim Road to Airfield Road. A 200 metre section of the U5107 Creagh Road between Aughrim Road and Blackpark Road will also be resurfaced in conjunction with this scheme.

Work will commence on Monday 09 January and run until Sunday 29 January.

To facilitate the initial preparatory works a two-way traffic flow will be maintained via lane closures under traffic signal control from 8am to 5pm from Monday 09 January until Sunday 15 January,

For the remainder of the resurfacing works it will then be necessary to close the Creagh Road to through traffic between Aughrim Road and Hillhead Road, from 8am on Monday 16 January to 5pm on Sunday 29 January. 

There will be clearly signed diversion routes as required and advanced warning signage for the closures. 

Road users are advised to avoid the area whenever possible, to allow extra time for their journey, and to follow the alternative routes, which will be clearly signed on the approaches to the closures. 

During the works access for local residents and businesses within the extent of the works, will be facilitated where possible.
