A £190,000 roundabouts resurfacing scheme on Kilrea’s Diamond and Church Street will begin on Monday, August, 25.
The resurfacing scheme, which will include both The Diamond and Church Street roundabouts, was announced by Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins.
Minister Kimmins said: “This is a substantial investment for the Kilrea area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users.
"The investment 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 an overnight road closure, on week nights only from 8pm to 6am, from Monday, August 25 until Sunday, September 7.
