A5 Ballygawley Lane Closure

A0005, Annaghilla Road in Ballygawley, Northern Ireland, will be subject to lane closure from Monday 17 August 2026 to Monday 24 August 2026.

The work is expected to take place daily, with traffic control measures in place to manage the flow of traffic and mitigate any potential disruptions.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and expect delays, particularly during the night-time hours when work is scheduled to take place between 19:00 and 05:00. While the anticipated delay is estimated to be less than 5 minutes, drivers are urged to exercise caution and consider using alternative routes to avoid congestion. Checking traffic apps or websites before embarking on a journey can also help drivers stay informed about the current traffic conditions and make necessary adjustments to their route.

The lane closure is being carried out by Fibrus, in partnership with the relevant authorities. While the exact duration of the work is subject to change, drivers can expect the lane closure to remain in place until Monday 24 August 2026.
