Enniskillen faces more traffic disruption as road reduced to one lane

The Cornagrade Road will go down to one lane for seven weeks at the beginning of August.

The work is to be carried out by Northern Ireland Water and could lead to delays for people who would use the road.

It comes after a week of disruption in Enniskillen when the A32 Irvinestown Road between Cherrymount Roundabout and SWAH was closed for a week.

On this occasion, the Cornagrade Road will remain open but with roadworks taking place the public can expect there to be some form of disruption.

The closure will start on Monday, August 3 and run for seven weeks, taking it until the end of September.

The work will begin at Cherrymount Roundabout and progressing as far as the second entrance to Kilmacormick Road

Gary McFadden, NI Water Senior Project Manager, said: "This essential upgrade work will allow for the essential maintenance of the local water supply network, benefitting customers in the Enniskillen area. 

“Traffic management and signage will be in place at all times and we would like to remind the public that construction sites are dangerous areas and appeal for children and young people to “stay safe” around site and machinery. Working areas will have warning signs in place to protect the public from any hazards.

“Every effort will be made to complete the main pipelaying work by the end of August. Some connection work is then planned to be undertaken at night in September to minimise disruption to school traffic.

"NI Water and our project team from McAdam and GRAHAM Construction would like to thank local residents and motorists for their patience and cooperation while this essential work is carried out."
