Persistent rainfall in the Clenagh area has forced work crews to halt resurfacing efforts once again, extending the road closure beyond the initially planned timeframe. Contractors cited the saturated ground conditions and ongoing wet weather as key obstacles preventing the proper laying and curing of new asphalt. Local authorities have confirmed that the reopening date is now tentative and heavily dependent on improved weather forecasts.

Residents and commuters are advised to plan alternative routes as closures remain in effect with no confirmed end date. The council has also issued the following updates and recommendations:

  • Detour routes: Signage and guidance clearly marking alternate paths to ease congestion.
  • Public transport: Increased bus service frequency on nearby lines to accommodate displaced traffic.
  • Safety warnings: Pay attention to temporary traffic signals and on-site workers during ongoing maintenance.
