Tandragee roadworks scheduled for early December completion
A £490,000 road improvement scheme in the Tandragee area is scheduled for completion by early December.
The essential road works on the A27 Auglish Road between Tandragee and Poyntzpass includes approximately 500 metres of full width resurfacing in the vicinity of the Monclone Road junction as well as large scale patching, drainage improvements and verge stability works at various locations on the route between Tandragee and Poyntzpass.
The Department for Infrastructure said the works will be completed by Friday, December 4, subject to favourable weather conditions.
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins Kimmins said the investment in these essential maintenance resurfacing works will deliver “significant benefits” for residents and road users.
"I would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out,” she said.
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement daytime lane closures under traffic signal control, weekdays, between 9.30am and 4.30pm from until Friday, November 13.
This will be followed by daytime road closures Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 4.30pm from Monday, November 16 to Friday, December 4.
Traffic will be diverted via A27 Shepherds Way, A28 Armagh Road, B3 Tandragree Road at Markethill and vice versa.
The Department said it has programmed these essential works and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience; however, 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.
