A new temporary pedestrian route is to be erected in front of No. 18 Dublin Road, Enniskillen, while works on the new McDonald's gets underway.

From Wednesday, September 11 to Wednesday, September 25, the pedestrian route will be erected in front of the McDonald's site while a new footpath is constructed for the restaurant.

There is an anticipated delay of 5-15 minutes, so please factor this into your journey.

The site, located at the former TP Topping car dealership, is due to open to the public on November 27.

The new restaurant will support around 120 full- and part-time jobs, including 68 crew members currently employed at the Cathcart Square facility.

The project will also see a significant inward investment of around £4million into the local area.

The temporary pedestrian route will be fully accessible at all times.

Aisling Lawless, Senior Estates Surveyor at McDonald's, said: “This small, temporary road closure marks one of the final stages of construction before we can welcome customers to our new McDonalds.

"We want to thank everyone for their patience before we can open our doors in November.

“We are excited to finally be getting close to opening the new restaurant, which we believe will be a welcome addition to the town.”

As well as this, work is also being undertaken on the Tempo Road just past the McDonald's site, with this road being closed from today (Tuesday, September 10) as a new road surface is laid.
