Kimmins announces £784,000 active travel scheme from Clough Village to Dundrum Village
A £784,000 active travel scheme from Clough Village to Dundrum Village will commence on Monday 17th November 2025.
The works will complete the final phase of active travel improvements between Clough and Dundrum, with this section of the scheme providing 1.6 km of improvements between Ardilea Road to the council car park on Main Street Dundrum.
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins said: “Creating cleaner and greener travel options is one of my department’s seven Foundations for a Better Future, and this route between the two villages will enhance active travel provision in the area.
“This demonstrates my ongoing commitment to walking, wheeling and cycling with schemes such as this providing healthy, environmentally friendly transport choices for people who wish to leave the car behind for some of their shorter everyday journeys.
“I would like to thank users of the existing facility for their patience and cooperation while these works were completed.”
To help ensure the safety of workers and road users it will be necessary to implement localised lane closures when the works commence.
The majority of the scheme will be completed during the hours of 9.30am to 4.00pm daily, Monday to Friday.
Full details of closures will be displayed in advance and a temporary 40 miles per hour speed limit will also be in place as well as prohibition of overtaking throughout the duration of these works.
Road users are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions and to drive with care when travelling in the vicinity of the road works.
Subject to favourable weather conditions all works will be completed in April 2026 however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
Whilst the Department has carefully planned these road works and associated traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, road users should expect delays and allow additional time when planning any journey.
