Temporary road and lane closures announced for gas upgrade works
Posted: 17 Jul, 2025
Evolve has announced temporary road and lane closures in Omagh and Enniskillen to facilitate essential gas network upgrade works, supporting its ongoing strategy to expand the local gas infrastructure amid growing demand for connections. These upgrades will enable more homes and businesses in both towns to access a cleaner, more efficient energy source.
Mark Davidson, Head of Engineering at Evolve, said:
We appreciate the support of the local communities and encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance. These works have been scheduled during the summer school holidays, when traffic volumes are typically lower, allowing us to carry it out during a traditionally quieter period and minimise disruption to road users and residents. Upgrading the local gas network is another important step in delivering the benefits of modern energy infrastructure to more homes and businesses, enabling people to lower their carbon emissions instantly and enjoy the convenience and efficiency that gas provides.
Omagh
In Omagh, Scarffeā€™s Entry will be temporarily closed from Monday 21st July, for approximately three weeks to allow for essential gas upgrade works in the town centre.
Enniskillen
In Enniskillen, a series of temporary one-way lane closures will be in place from Monday 21st July for approximately two weeks. The programme will begin with a one-way closure on The Brook, followed by a one-way closure on Henry Street.
During the closure of The Brook, inbound traffic will be diverted via Loughshore Road, Derrygonnelly Road, Drummee Road, Ashwoods Road, Sligo Road, and Henry Street. Once works move to Henry Street, the diversion will reverse, guiding traffic via Sligo Road, Ashwoods Road, Drummee Road, Derrygonnelly Road, Loughshore Road, and The Brook. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted throughout the works.
