£230,000 Resurfacing Works Scheme Announced
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy has announced that work is to begin on a £230,000 major resurfacing scheme on the Omagh Road, Drumquin.
The asphalt resurfacing work will commence on Tuesday 3 December on four sections of the Omagh Road, Drumquin, between Dooish Road and Gillygooley Primary School.
Minister Kennedy said: "This scheme will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the carriageway on this main route between Omagh and Drumquin."
As a result of the restricted carriageway width available, and to help minimise any potential conflict between the site works and traffic associated with the travelling public, the B50 Omagh Road/Gillygooley Road will be closed to through traffic from 9.30am until 4.30pm each day for a period of 13 days from tomorrow (3 December).
Diversions will be in place, with Drumquin-bound traffic from Omagh will be diverted via the A5 Beltany Road, C679 Drumlegagh South and B84 Baronscourt Road. Omagh-bound traffic from Drumquin will be diverted via the B84 Dooish Road, B4 Drumlish Road and A32 Clanabogan Road. Local access will be retained.
