This work will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network to the benefit of local residents, businesses and those travelling between Downpatrick and Newtownards.
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement a road closure from 9am to 4pm throughout. The road will be open to traffic overnight and at the weekends.
During these times a signed diversionary route will be in place via Downpatrick Road Killyleagh, Killyleagh Road, Belfast Road Downpatrick, Downpatrick Road Crossgar, Saintfield Road, Crossgar Road Saintfield, Belfast Road, Ballygowan Road, Saintfield Road Ballygowan, Ballygowan Road Comber, High Street, Newtownards Road Comber, Killinchy Road & Killyleagh Road.
