A diversion will be clearly signposted via B523 Irish Street, U1155 Strabane Old Road, U1155 Woodside Road, U1156 Gortinure Road, A5 Victoria Road, B48 Duncastle Road, C516 Trench Road and vice versa.
Road users may experience some delays and additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.
It is expected that the work will be completed by 1 April, however, this is subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
