The proposed closure of the N60 road from Castlerea to Ballymoe for roadworks has been postponed until mid-September.

The busy section of road was due to close yesterday morning for a 2-week period for overlay works.

However, Councillor Paschal Fitzmaurice said that, due to delays on the part of the contractor, the work will not now start until 17th September.

Diversions will be in place.
