A major gas network upgrade is set to cause road disruption throughout August.
Led by Evolve, the gas network operator for the west of Northern Ireland, the expansion project will increase network capacity in Dungannon, making it possible for more properties to connect.
Evolve has stated that the improvements will deliver a "cleaner, more efficient energy system" for the area.
The scheme, already underway, will involve phased roadworks and closures to allow for the installation of new infrastructure.
Mark Davidson, head of engineering at Evolve, said: "As works get underway, we would like to thank the Dungannon community for their continued patience and cooperation.
"We are committed to keeping disruption to a minimum and encourage motorists to plan ahead and check our website for the latest updates.
"These works represent an important step in enhancing local infrastructure and we look forward to bringing the benefits of our state-of-the-art gas network to more homes and businesses across Dungannon."
Work is already underway at Northland Row, Northland Place, and Ranfurly Road, with a one-way closure currently in place on Donaghmore Road.
In early August, a full closure of Church Street is planned, with diversions signposted via Scotch Street, Railway Road, Milltown Road, Wellington Road, and Ranfurly Road.
Access for deliveries will be maintained via footpaths.
Perry Street will also be affected by a one-way closure from Northland Row.
A diversion will be signposted towards Northland Row for those travelling from Ranfurly Road and this will continue through Circular Road and Thomas Street.
Perry Street Car Park will be accessible from Park Road, with deliveries also accommodated.
Additional works will take place throughout August on the following roads:
- Anne Street – two-way traffic flow will be maintained
- Park Road – one-way closure with diversion
- Victoria Road – one-way traffic flow will be maintained
- William Street – one-way closure with diversion
- Barrack Street – one-way traffic flow will be maintained
- John Street – one-way closure with diversion
- Greers Road – one-way closure with diversion
All schedules are subject to change depending on construction progress, and diversion routes will be clearly signposted.
Evolve has advised residents, businesses, and motorists to plan journeys in advance and check the roadworks section of its website (evolvenetwork.co.uk/roadworks) for the latest updates.
