Road users are being reminded that diversions remain in place during roadworks on the A32 Irvinestown Road outside Enniskillen.
The PSNI said cars and smaller commercial vehicles can use the diversion via the Coa Road. However, heavy goods vehicles are advised to avoid the Coa Road and instead follow the alternative HGV diversion route, which is marked by yellow signs.
The closure affects access to the South West Acute Hospital, although the Western Trust has stressed that the hospital remains accessible throughout the works.
Traffic approaching the hospital from Enniskillen via Cherrymount Roundabout is being diverted, while access via the A32 Irvinestown Road and Trory Roundabout remains open, although delays are expected because of increased traffic.
The Trust is advising patients, visitors and staff to allow extra time for their journeys. A free shuttle bus is also operating between Erne Integrated College and the South West Acute Hospital from 7am until 9.30pm each day while the closure is in place, with services running every 10 to 15 minutes.
Emergency and other time-critical patients will continue to have access via dedicated emergency arrangements, while all hospital car parks remain open. The Western Trust said it is continuing to work with the Department for Infrastructure and emergency services to maintain safe access to hospital services throughout the roadworks.
