Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has unveiled a £490,000 improvement scheme for the A27 Auglish Road between Tandragee and Poyntzpass.

The project includes around 500 metres of full-width resurfacing near the Monclone Road junction, together with large-scale patching, drainage enhancements and verge stability works at various points along the route.

Subject to favourable weather, the works are due to be completed by Friday 4 December 2026.

Minister Kimmins said: "This investment in these essential maintenance resurfacing works 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. I would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out."

To support safe delivery, weekday daytime lane closures under traffic-signal control will operate from 9.30am to 4.30pm between Monday 9 November and Friday 13 November. This will be followed by weekday daytime full road closures from 9.30am to 4.30pm between Monday 16 November and Friday 4 December. Diversions will be in place via the A27 Shepherds Way, the A28 Armagh Road and the B3 Tandragee Road at Markethill, in both directions.

The Department has scheduled the works and traffic management to minimise disruption; however, motorists should expect some delays, allow extra time for journeys and adhere to all temporary traffic restrictions.
