The scheme which will begin on Monday 22 July will involve the asphalt resurfacing of a 750 metre stretch of the A21 between the Comber Road Roundabout and Court Street junction.
This effort will significantly improve the durability and surface condition of this segment of the road network, benefiting residents, businesses and travellers passing through Newtownards.
To facilitate the safe delivery of phase one of the scheme it will be necessary to implement overnight road closures between A20 Comber Road Roundabout and U9020 Court Street from 7.00 pm to 6.00 am each night, from Monday 22 July to Wednesday 31 July 2024.
