Head of Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services, Colin Park, said: “We apologise in advance for any inconvenience that may occur during these essential road improvement works.

“Unfortunately, the road is not sufficiently wide enough to safely maintain vehicular access while the works are being undertaken.

“General traffic will be unable to travel through the closure during the works, although we will endeavour to maintain access for local residents within the closure wherever possible.

“There may be instances where local access and egress will be significantly delayed depending on the status and progress of works on site. Traffic Marshals and site staff will be there to advise and assist where access is required during the works.

“We would ask that all road users allow additional time for all journeys which involve the use of Newhousemill Road during the times indicated and that they plan their journey accordingly.”
