The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has announced a programme of resurfacing works for the C612 Orritor Road in Cookstown, due to get underway on Monday, 24 July.

The resurfacing works will extend from Toberlane Road for 1.4 kilometres to the traffic signals at Morgans Hill Road/Westland Road. The resurfacing works will deliver significant improvements to both the structural integrity and surface quality of this road for many years to come.

To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement a full road closure. This will be in place daily between the hours of 7.00 am and 6.00 pm from Monday 24 July until Friday 18 August 2023.

Subject to favourable weather conditions all work will be completed by 18 August 2023 however, the Department will keep the public informed of any unforeseen changes.

The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience, however, drivers should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time for their journey.
