Electricity North West (ENW) is commencing works on Tuesday 20th September from the junction with Kilruddery Road up to 10 Broadgate. Works are expected to last four weeks.
Works will be carried out in small sections, to minimise the impact on properties, and excavated areas will be reinstated as the contractors progress along the road.
Access and parking will be maintained as far as possible, but it may impact some properties for a short period of time. Traffic management will be in place, including temporary traffic lights.
