Work starts on resurfacing Draperstown road

A £170,000 resurfacing scheme is now underway to improve the quality of the carriageway.

The work is expected to take a month to complete with fair weather and a two-way traffic flow will be in place.

The road will be closed on December 2-3 for final resurfacing.

Local Assembly Member, Ian McCrea welcomed the work saying the Tobermore Road was an essential route.

“Delays may be an issue and I would encourage motorists using this route to plan ahead to avoid disruption to journeys,” he added.
