From Sunday, February 5 to Friday, February 17 a single lane will be closed continuously and from Friday, February 17 to Friday, March 3 a single lane will be closed from 9.30am to 4pm daily.

Variable message signs have been erected to notify motorists of the closures however it is inevitable that there will be some disruption for road users. TransportNI aims to keep disruptions to a minimum and drivers are asked to observe the signage and allow additional time for their journeys.

The planned dates for the scheme are subject to favourable weather conditions and TransportNI will keep the public informed of any change.

TransportNI would like to thank drivers for their patience while this necessary improvement is carried out.
