Emergency closure of Co Armagh road in high winds


Police closed a Co Armagh road last night amid fears the canopy of a filling station might blow onto the road.
The Banbridge Road in Lurgan was closed for a couple of hours while experts looked at the canopy over the petrol pumps at Supervalu.
The PSNI got a call at around 6.30pm during high winds in the Lurgan area.
Concerns had been raised about the canopy and police closed the road temporarily.
A structural engineer was called in and the road was reopened at 7.40pm.
