£220,000 resurfacing work on Kilrea Road, Upperlands

A £220,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on the B75 Kilrea Road, Upperlands will commence on Monday 25 June 2018.

The works, which will extend for a distance of approximately 2km from its junction with Tamlaght Road to its junction with Drumnacanon Road, will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of Kilrea Road.  Work is expected to be completed by Saturday 7 July 2018.

Given the nature of the scheme and to help ensure the safety of road users and contractors, a road closure for through traffic is required for the duration of the works.  Local access including access to the local Primary Schools during the morning drop off and afternoon collection periods, will be facilitated.

During the road closure traffic will be diverted along the A29 to Garvagh and B64 to Kilrea and vice versa.

Advanced warning signage for the closure will be provided and diversion routes will be signed as necessary.

The above planned dates are subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.

The Department has carefully programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public. However motorists should be aware that some delays should be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning journeys.
