The Department has recently completed a £318,000 resurfacing scheme for Customs Station Roundabout/Carnbane Way, Newry. Below, you can see the difference the scheme has made to the surface of the road in our before and after shots. @nmdcouncil

The left image, labelled "Before", shows a worn road surface at the roundabout with visible texture and patching. The right image, labelled "After", shows a newly resurfaced, smooth black asphalt surface. A headline states that the resurfacing scheme has been completed. Below the images, a quote highlights the benefits of the investment for local residents, businesses and road users in the Newry area. A portrait photograph of the Infrastructure Minister appears in the bottom right corner.
