A £300,000 resurfacing scheme on Kevlin Road in Omagh is due to begin next week.
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that work on the C0663 Kevlin Road will get underway on Monday, September 28.
The scheme will involve resurfacing around one kilometre of the road, along with localised drainage improvements, between Sunningdale and Dergmoney Heights.
Minister Kimmins said the investment would bring “significant benefits” for residents and road users.
“I would like to thank residents, local businesses, and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out,” she said.
A series of temporary road closures and traffic restrictions will be in place while the work is carried out.
Overnight full road closures will operate on weekdays from September 28 to October 16 and again from October 26 to 29, between 8pm and 7am.
There will also be full daytime closures from October 19 to 23, between 9.30am and 3pm.
Daily lane closures will operate between 9.30am and 3pm on weekdays during the periods September 28 to October 16 and October 26 to 29.
Signed diversion routes will be in place during the full road closures.
Local access will be maintained for residents within the works area, although some delays are expected depending on the work taking place.
Traffic from the Coolnagard Estate will be diverted from the Coolnagard Roundabout onto the signed diversion route as the works progress.
Access to Sacred Heart College will be maintained via Kevlin Avenue and Kevlin Road from the John Street junction.
Townview Avenue will remain open at all times via the Dublin Road, with motorists advised to use this route when accessing retail and business premises in the Townview Avenue and Kevlin Road area.
The Department for Infrastructure said the works and traffic management arrangements had been planned to minimise disruption, but motorists should allow additional time when travelling in the area.
According to the Department, the works are expected to be substantially completed by October 29 - "subject to favourable weather conditions."
