Drivers are being warned to seek an alternative route as road works will mean that a major road will be closed over the weekend. 

The A4 Ballagh Road at Fivemiletown will be closed for a period from March 8  to March 10 and will impact road users travelling from Fermanagh to the east of Northern Ireland. 

According to TrafficWatchNI the road will close on Friday evening at 7pn and will remain closed until Sunday, March 10 at 6pm. 

The closure is between the A4 Ballagh Road and Clabby Road in both directions to facilitate carriageway resurfacing works.

There are two diversions put in place with HGV traffic from Fermanagh being advised to travel from Enniskillen to Ballygawley via Irvinestown, Dromore and Omagh. 

The local diversion for traffic travelling from Fermanagh onward is via the Clabby / Aghintain Road to the Tattymoyle Road  to the Aghafad Road.
