The work includes the laying of new pipelines between Blackrock and Ballymartin. The overall scheme will collect wastewater from the Blackrock and Ballymartin areas and transfer it to Kilkeel for treatment. The new infrastructure will bring about environmental benefits in the area and will accommodate future development in the village for the next 20 years.
To facilitate the work temporary lane closures will be implemented with automated traffic lights on a short section of the Annalong Road around the location of the new pumping station.
