Construction is now underway on a new £1.7 million access lane into Rushmere Shopping Centre from Central Way in Craigavon, aimed at easing long-standing traffic congestion at the main roundabout entrance.
Approved by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council in April, the project will create a new entry-only route for motorists heading into the northern section of the centre’s car park, approximately 80 metres south of Matalan.
Diggers have already moved on-site to begin excavation work on the long-awaited infrastructure upgrade.
The planning application was lodged by MBA Planning Ltd, Citylink Business Park, Belfast, on behalf of Killahoey Ltd, M12 Business Park, Portadown.
