Discussing the scheme, Minister Kimmins said: "This is a substantial investment for the Drumquin area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users and demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities.

A road closure will be implemented between 8am and 6pm from Thursday, March 27, until the work is expected to be completed on Friday, April 4.
