A number of roads across counties Tyrone and Fermanagh will be closed as part of a major gas line extension.
SGN Natural Gas say the works will be taking place during traditionally 'quieter times' on roads across Mid Ulster and Fermanagh and Omagh council areas as they expand their network.
In Dungannon, the Killyman Road will be closed from 20th April for approximately two days between the Bush Road and Gortmerron Link Road junctions. A signposted diversion route will be in operation via Gortmerron Link Road, Moy Road, Ranfurly Road and Northland Row.

The Gortmerron Link Road itself will be closed from 22nd April for approximately one day with a diversion route via Killyman Road, Far Circular Road and Moy Road.
Morgans Hill Road in Cookstown will have a lane closure in place from 20th April lasting approximately three days, with traffic being managed via portable traffic signals.
In Coalisland, traffic management systems will also be in operation for a lane closure along Moor Road in Clonoe, beginning on 19th April and lasting for approximately 19 days.
Meanwhile, in Enniskillen, a section of Dublin Road will observe a lane closure using portable traffic signals from 11th April and lasting approximately three days. Dublin Road will have a further lane closure, extending to Wickham Place, from 20th April for approximately three days.
SGN Natural Gas say they have notified local residents and businesses who may be affected by the works, which have been approved by DfI Roads and will be carried out by Kier.
A spokesperson said: "The dates have been carefully selected to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum, particularly with school traffic in mind. By undertaking these works during a traditionally quieter period for most, this will help ensure we are collaborating effectively with our stakeholders, members of the public and our customers."
Mark Davidson, Head of Engineering, SGN Natural Gas said: “This is an exciting period for the SGN Natural Gas project and we are delighted our network will soon be reaching more areas as the demand for conversions continues to grow.
“We will continue to do everything we can to minimise disruption as the works take place and we’re confident the long-term benefits of natural gas will outweigh the temporary inconvenience.
“We also want to extend our sincere thanks to the public and local businesses for their patience and co-operation.”
