ROADS SERVICE INVEST OVER Ł1 MILLION IN OMAGH

Over Ł1 million will be invested in minor capital schemes in the Omagh Council area over this year.
Speaking in advance of the Department for Regional Developments Roads Service's autumn meeting with Omagh District Council, the Divisional Roads Manager Mr Pat Doherty said: "The overtaking lane on the A5 at Garvaghey is now complete and the scheme at Hospital Road Omagh, which includes provision of a link footway, right turning lane and bus layby, is also substantially complete."
"Other schemes that will be taken forward in the current financial year include the provision of a footway at Maryville Terrace, Omagh and traffic calming schemes at Carrickmore and Kevlin Road, Omagh. These schemes have been deferred until the new year to avoid adding to congestion in the build up to Christmas."
The Roads Service report also contained the draft capital programme for 2007-2009. New schemes include a slip road from the A5 Omagh Throughpass to the A32 Dromore Road and a proposed sightline improvement scheme on the B50 at Drumrawn Road near Drumquin.
