£195,000 road improvement scheme to commence in Fintona area

INFRASTRUCTURE Minister John O’Dowd has announced that a £195,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on Ecclesville Road, Mill Street, Tattyreagh Road and Kiln Street, Fintona will commence this Monday.

The resurfacing scheme will extend from the Tattyreagh Road along Ecclesville Road and Kiln Street to the bridge near King Street, Fintona.

To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement a continuous road closure at Ecclesville Road from Tattyreagh Road to Mill Street/Kiln Street, between the hours of 8.00 am on Monday, June 10 until 5.00 pm on Sunday, June 16.

During these times, signed diversionary routes will be in place via Tattymoyle Road, Main Street/ Carnalea Road and vice versa.

The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience. However, while steps have been taken to accommodate local access throughout the scheme, road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.

Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be substantially complete by Sunday, June 16, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
