A £784,000 active travel project linking Clough Village to Dundrum Village is set to commence on Monday 17 November 2025.

This work marks the final phase of improvements along the route, covering 1.6 km from Ardilea Road to the council car park on Main Street, Dundrum.

NI Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins said: "Creating cleaner and greener travel options is one of my department’s seven Foundations for a Better Future, and this route between the two villages will enhance active travel provision in the area. This demonstrates my ongoing commitment to walking, wheeling and cycling with schemes such as this providing healthy, environmentally friendly transport choices for people who wish to leave the car behind for some of their shorter everyday journeys.

"I would like to thank users of the existing facility for their patience and cooperation while these works were completed."

To ensure the safety of workers and road users, localised lane closures will be implemented during construction, which will take place Monday to Friday between 9.30 am and 4.00 pm. Temporary traffic measures will include a 40 mph speed limit and a prohibition on overtaking. Full details of closures will be displayed in advance.

Subject to favourable weather conditions, the project is expected to be completed by April 2026, with the Department keeping the public informed of any changes. Road users are advised to observe all temporary restrictions and exercise caution near the works.
