These upgrades will improve the road network for those travelling between Ballygowan and Comber.

To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement a road closure from 9.30am to 4.30pm, throughout the scheme. The road will be open to traffic overnight and at the weekends.

During these times there will be a signed diversionary route via A21 Comber Road, A21 Saintfield Road Roundabout, A23 Belfast Road, A23 Moneyreagh Road and B178 Hillsborough Road.

Local access for residents and emergency services will be maintained at all times, however some minor delays may be experienced.
