This work will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network to the benefit of local residents, businesses and those travelling in the Crossmaglen area. I would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure twork is carried out.”
There will be road closures from Wednesday 27 August to Friday 31 October 2025 daily between 08am and 5pm (Mon-Fri) and the road will be open during evenings and weekends.
