Work on the scheme, which cost some £350,000, started in June and was completed on schedule before the end of September.

The scheme now provides new right-turning pockets on the A26 Moira Road for vehicles turning right into Lough Road.

“I am pleased,” said the minister, Mr Kennedy, “to announce that the scheme to provide new right-turning pockets on the A26 Moira Road for vehicles turning right into Lough Road has been completed.

“This will greatly improve safety and the movement of traffic at this junction.

“It will also reduce journey times along this busy stretch of the A26 between the Moria roundabout and the Nutts Corner roundabout.”
