Resurfacing Scheme In Bready To Begin

Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy has announced that a £175,000 major resurfacing scheme on the A5 Victoria Road in Bready is scheduled to begin on 23 September.

Improvements on Victoria Road, the main road between Strabane and Londonderry, will take place between its junction at Donagheady Road and extend for a distance of around 780 metres northward along the A5 Victoria Road to the northern boundary of Bready Village.

Mr Kennedy said: "The scheme will strengthen and improve the quality of the carriageway on this important section of trunk road between Strabane and Londonderry."

Due to the restricted carriageway width available on Victoria Road, and to help minimise any potential conflict between the site works and through traffic, it will be necessary to close the section of the road on two separate weekends. Closures are planned for Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 of September and also on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 October.

The scheme is expected to be substantially completed on 7 October 2013.
