Later in the month, Queen Street will undergo an off-peak one-way closure from Monday July 28 for approximately one week, rerouting traffic via the Magherafelt bypass. Additionally, from Wednesday July 30, Rainey Street will be subject to a lane closure with temporary traffic lights in place for around three weeks.
Evolve say the timing of the work is aligned to school holidays in an effort to minimise disruption for residents, businesses and commuters.
