The Department for Infrastructure is leading the project, which will see a section of the Mullurg Road resurfaced between the Mullabrack Road and the Marlacoo Beg Road junction.
Announcing the scheme, Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "I have made clear my intent to tackle regional imbalance. I want any investment in road maintenance to reflect the need across our entire network. I am pleased to announce that the road improvement scheme on the Mullurg Road represents an investment of £187,000 in the Hamiltonsbawn area.

"This work will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of road for the benefit of all who use it. It will also better connect communities and businesses to the Markethill and Portadown areas for many years to come.
"We are working with our stakeholders to co-ordinate these essential roadworks and are publishing details in advance to help people plan alternate routes and manage disruption."
Work will begin on Monday 03 February and run until Friday 28 February.
During these dates a weekday road closure will be implemented between 8am and 6pm to facilitate the work. A diversion will be in place via Mullabrack Road, Hamiltonsbawn and Marlacoo Road and vice versa.
