A major £307,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on the Carnteel Road between Cullenramer Road and Castletown Road in Dungannon commenced today, Monday, November 24.
The proposed scheme will include two kilometres of full width resurfacing of the Carnteel Road to improve the carriageway surface at various locations.
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme, it will be necessary to implement a road closure on the Carnteel Road, Dungannon between 9am and 4.30pm daily, Monday to Friday for a three-week period commencing on Monday, November 24. During this period the road will be fully closed to through traffic. Local access to property within the scheme limits will be facilitated along with school buses.
A diversion will be in place via B35 Carnteel Road – Aughnacloy – A5 Tullyvar Road – A4 Dual Carriageway – A45 Granville Road/ B35 Legilly Road/ B35 Carnteel Road and vice versa.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience.
However, while steps have been taken to accommodate local access throughout the scheme, 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.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be substantially complete by Friday, December 12, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins said: “This substantial investment of £307,000 for the Carnteel Road, Dungannon will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users and 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.”
