Work On Road Improvement Project In Co Tyrone To Begin
Work on a £120,000 road improvement scheme in County Tyrone is to begin on Monday, 28 February.
The project, on the B83 Old Monaghan Road between Clogher and Monaghan, will include localised road widening to improve visibility for motorists. It will also include verge widening to facilitate the erection of warning signs and a vehicle restraint system on one side of the road.
To help ensure the safety of road users and those carrying out the works, a temporary road closure for through traffic is required on the Old Monaghan Road from its junction with U1418 Old Monaghan Road to its junction with U1422 Shanco Road. The closure will last for seven weeks and will run from Monday, 27 February to Friday, 14 April.
Vehicles requiring access to lands or premises abutting the closed length of road will be accommodated.
A diversion route will be in place along the A4 through Clogher, A5 through Aughnacloy, N2 through Emyvale, R135, North Road, Dawson Street and the N54 and vice versa.
Thugs Behind Device Under PSNI Officers Car Condemned
SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood has condemned those behind a device discovered under the car of a police officer in L'Derry.
He said: "The cowards who targeted a police officer this morning have set themselves against the people of Derry and the people of Ireland. They are enemies of the Irish people. Their malicious and murderous attempt to bring violence back to our streets has failed before and it will fail again.
"They need to know, they need to be made understand that their fight is with us. It is with the Irish people and there only ever will be one winner in that battle.
"My thoughts are with the police officer and their family at what will undoubtedly be a difficult time. No one in this city or in this society should be threatened for the public service they provide."
