New LED Installations To Light Up Portadown Street

A programme of new lighting works in Portadown is set to bring new technology and increased safety to the area.

Approximately £160,000 is being invested on a lighting scheme on the Seagoe Road, which will involve the installation of new street lighting columns and replacement underground cables along with new LED lights.

The Department for Infrastructure is delivering the project on the Co Armagh route, extending from Church Road up to Tarsan Lane in Portadown.

Work will begin on 04 October and is expected to reach completion by the end of November 2021. The project team will work to minimise inconvenience to the public, with all work involving lane closures set to be carried out during off peak weekday times between 9.30am and 4.30pm.


Road users are advised to expect some delays and leave additional time when planning any journeys.

"This significant investment will benefit everyone who travels and works in the area," Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said. "I am committed to addressing the issues which matter most to people and street lighting services are crucial in ensuring those driving, cycling, wheeling and walking can do so safely within their communities.

"This investment provides new LED technology along the Seagoe Road. It is important that adequate street lighting not only improves the quality of lighting but is more energy efficient given my commitment to climate action.

"I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed."
