Major roadworks are set to disrupt drivers in the Newry area with the introduction of a temporary one-way system.

From Monday, traffic will move in one direction from New Street to the Damolly Roundabout.

The scheme, on the main road from Newry to Belfast, will provide almost 1km of new asphalt road surface, footways and associated drainage improvement works.

Works extend from the junction with New Street, to just beyond its junction with the Ashgrove Road.

This final stage of the works will consist of further preparatory works at the northern end of the scheme and completion of the carriageway resurfacing through the whole of the scheme.

Diversions will be in place to keep larger vehicles moving around the city.

The resurfacing works on the Belfast Road, costing £350,000, are expected to be completed by the 7th of July.
