Infrastructure Minister has announced that two
carriageway resurfacing schemes totalling £530,000 on the A54
Ballymacombs Road, Portglenone, will commence on Monday 27 May
2024.
The first resurfacing scheme will extend from Glenone Road to
Mullaghnamoyagh Road and the second scheme along a 1.4kilometres
section of road between Downings Road & Tamlaghtduff Road.
Minister O'Dowd said:
“This substantial investment of £530,000 for the Portglenone
& Bellaghy areas 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 facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be
necessary to implement a road closure, from Clady Road,
Portglenone to Ballynease Road, Bellaghy between the hours of
7.30 am and 6.00 pm from Monday 27 May 2024 until Friday 14 June
2024.
During these times signed diversionary routes will be in place
via A42 Clady Road / Mayogall Road, B182 Gulladuff Road, A54 Main
Street / William Street / Ballynease Road and vice versa.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic
management arrangements to minimise inconvenience. However, while
steps have been taken to accommodate local access throughout the
scheme, road users should expect some delays and are advised to
allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the
works and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic
restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be
substantially complete by Friday 14 June 2024, however the
Department will keep the public informed of any change.
