The work involves strengthening and resurfacing 840 metres of the carriageway, starting 120 metres west of Killymeal Road and extending to 40 metres west of Farlough Road.
The Infrastructure Minister, John O'Dowd, said: "This is a substantial investment for the Edendork area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users. This demonstrates my commitment to improving our rural road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. 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 in the area. I would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out."
