Motorists are being warned of diversions on the N2/A5 this Saturday due to a major event in Aughnacloy.
Drivers are being warned to avoid the town between 10.30 and 5.30 on Saturday and major disruption is expected.
Traffic travelling from Derry to Dublin on Saturday will be diverted at the Ballygawley roundabout and on to Dungannon, Eglish, Caledon, and Middletown, before re-joining the N2 at Monaghan.
Traffic from Dublin to Derry can divert for Middletown at Castleshane or at the Maurice Grahams roundabout in Monaghan town and then follow the same diversion route to Ballygawley.
Gardaí are asking drivers travelling from Dublin on the M1 to continue on to Dundalk, Newry and Dungannon, before re-joining the A5 at Ballygawley.
The diversions are in place due to a parade by the Royal Black Institution, which will see up to 80 preceptories and bands take part.
It’s the first time since 2006 that Aughnacloy has hosted a so called “Last Saturday Procession”.
