The Department for Infrastructure confirmed gritting has taken place on some routes as road surface temperatures were forecast to fall close to or below freezing overnight.

“Salting of roads on the scheduled network considered to be at risk of ice and frost was undertaken on Sunday evening.

"Road users should exercise caution when travelling this morning,” the Department said.
