A £230,000 road improvement scheme on Steeple Road, Kells, will commence on Monday (May 14).

The scheme starts at the Lislunnan Road junction and extends for approximately 1.7 km towards Kells Village and will deliver significant improvements to both the structural integrity and running surface, with associated improvements to road drainage.

The drainage works will commence on May 14 using temporary traffic management including traffic lights where necessary.

The resurfacing works are planned to commence on Monday, June 4 requiring road closures and diversions which will be fully signed. Details will be published on www.trafficwatchni.com. All works are expected to be completed by 22 June 2018.

The dates and duration of the works will be dependent on the progress of the scheme and on favourable weather conditions.
