A series of road closures will be in place as work is due to start on Monday on a £375,000 carriageway refurbishment on the Annvale Road, Keady.
Work will include carriageway patching, resurfacing and drainage improvements.
The improvement work will extend from the Newtownhamilton Road junction towards the Tassagh Road junction
Roads Minister Nichola Mallon said: “This significant investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the rural road network to the benefit of all who use it.
“I would like to thank local residents and businesses in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed.”
To facilitate the works, it will be necessary to implement a series of road closures.
An initial road closure for preparatory work and drainage investigation will be in place from 9am until 6pm each day from Monday, October 11 until Friday, October 22.
A second closure will be required for final resurfacing in the weeks following this and details will be made available when dates are confirmed. The road will be open evenings and at weekends.
During periods of closure traffic will be diverted via the Tassagh Road, Kinelowen Street, Bridge Street, Victoria Street and Darkley Road.
Local access for residents and emergency services will be maintained although some delays may be experienced.
The Department has carefully planned these road works and associated traffic management arrangements in order to minimise inconvenience to the public. Road users are advised to allow extra time for their journey and to follow the alternative routes which will be clearly signed on the approaches to the closure.
The Department will keep the public informed of any change and of the dates of the future road closure.
All work will be carried out in line with current public health and health and safety advice, with safe systems of working in place for staff and contractors.
