A road resurfacing scheme is set to recommence next week on the M1 Motorway in Craigavon, County Armagh, to facilitate a major £3m improvement project along the eastbound carriageway.

The works, which are scheduled to be completed between Friday, September 19, and Sunday, September 28, will finish the scheme between Junction 11 (Ballynacor) and Junction 10 (Lurgan) which commenced in July.

Northern Ireland's Department for Infrastructure has announced a series of lane closures and road closures to ensure the safety of road users and road workers:
