We have been contacted by the DfI and contractors in relation to the road closure in operation at Strathroy Road, Omagh. Despite there being a full road closure in place in one direction, numerous vehicles are ignoring this signage and racing on towards the Gortin Road. Not only are you risking penalty points and a fine, but this is also inherently dangerous. Drivers turning into the Strathroy Road are not expecting to encounter other vehicles approaching - at speed - on the wrong side of the road. We have been told of at least two near misses whereby the offending vehicle has taken to the footpath when pedestrians, one in school uniform, were walking past. Please drive considerately and seek an alternative route. A full road closure in both directions is now under consideration. Police patrols will be keeping an eye on the area.
