Lockhart welcomes start of Greenan Road Resurfacing
Carla Lockhart MP • January 30, 2024
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has welcomed the commencement of resurfacing works on the Greenan Road, Loughbrickland.
The DUP representative said:
“I have been lobbying for some time for the Greenan Road to be resurfaced, given the very poor condition of the road for a prolonged period of time. This has a major impact on local residents and indeed all those who use this road to get from A to B.
The Department for Infrastructure has now commenced the resurfacing of the road and this is most welcome. It will transform the surface and future proof the road for considerable time. I am delighted to have helped to secure this outcome.
Again I would urge anyone with concerns about the state of their road to get in touch and I will certainly champion further investment by DfI to continue to improve the local road network.”
