Infrastructure Minister has announced that a £250,000
carriageway resurfacing scheme on the Ardmore Road has commenced.
The resurfacing scheme will involve the asphalt resurfacing for
0.65 kilometres of the Ardmore Road on the outskirts of
Newry, commencing from its junction with A28 Belfast Road to a
point 650 metres along Ardmore Road.
The Infrastructure Minister said:
“This is a substantial investment for the Newry area which will
deliver significant benefits for local businesses, residents and
road users . The investment demonstrates my commitment to
improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our
businesses and communities. This work will greatly improve the
strength and surface quality of this section of the road network
to the benefit of local residents, businesses and those
travelling in the Newry area. Work is expected to
be substantially completed by Friday 4 July
2025. 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 daily Monday to Friday road closure from
Monday 16 June – Friday 4 July 2025, 08:00 – 18:00 each
day.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic
management arrangements to minimise inconvenience however, while
steps have been taken to accommodate local access 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. During the
works local access will be facilitated.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be
substantially complete by Friday 4 July 2025, however the
Department will keep the public informed of any change.
