A major resurfacing scheme is getting underway at the Loup.
The project on the Ruskey Road and Ballymulligan Road is costing £120,000
It’s been welcomed by Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard.
The scheme is expected to be completed around the middle of the month.
A one day road closure is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 13.
The works extend a distance of approximately 860 metres through the Loup Crossroads.
It include the resurfacing of 700 metres of footpath.
Preparatory work began earlier this month.
The Minister says the investment will address ongoing maintenance problems associated with the road.
To help minimise any inconvenience to the public, businesses, church and schools, the preparatory work on the carriageway and completion of the footway work is programmed to be completed using traffic control.
A one-day road closure will be required to facilitate the final surfacing of the carriageway. The road closure is scheduled to take place on Saturday 13 August.
During this period traffic will be diverted via Coagh. Advanced warning signage for the closures will be provided.
