Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has confirmed that a £258,000 scheme to resurface the carriageway on Mealough Road in Carryduff is scheduled to start on Monday 16 November 2026.
The announcement was made by officials at the Northern Ireland Executive on Wednesday morning.
A signed diversion route has been established for traffic during the works, routing vehicles via Mealough Road, Saintfield Road, Ballynahinch Road, Hillsborough Road, Comber Road and Front Road.
The physical scope of the project covers approximately 1.3km of road between the Boyland Road junction and the Bellisle Road junction.
In a separate announcement on Monday 11 November 2026, Liz Kimmins confirmed that a £630,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on Kirk Road in Stranocum will also commence on Monday 16 November 2026.
Earlier this month, on 9 November 2026, the Minister stated that essential road works were set to begin on the A27 Auglish Road between Tandragee and Poyntzpass.
That specific project includes resurfacing work between Ballycoan Road and Fort Road.
On the same day as the Auglish Road confirmation, Liz Kimmins announced a £750,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on the B133 Drumintee Road in Meigh, Newry.
The Drumintee Road project will involve 1.9km of work starting from just south of the Chapel Road and Railway Road crossroads and ending just past the entrance to Slieve Gullion Forest.
