Long-awaited drainage improvement works on the A46 Loughshore Road between Enniskillen and Belleek are set to get underway this week.

The scheme will involve daily lane closures along the route, with traffic managed by temporary lights.

Work will begin on Monday and drivers using the road have been urged to allow extra time for their journeys while the works are ongoing.

A Department for Infrastructure spokesperson said: “The Department has programmed drainage improvement works at A46 Loughshore Road between Enniskillen and Belleek.

"This work will be completed through a daily lane closure between 8am and 6pm form April 26 to June 5.

"Motorists should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when using the A46 route as a traffic light system will be in operation. The Department would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential short term infrastructure work is carried out.”

The Department said the works are necessary to improve drainage along the route and reduce the risk of flooding, which can pose a hazard to road users.
