A post on TrafficwatchNI today reveals that the Co Down route - Downpatrick Rd / Killough Rd has now been reopened to traffic in both directions.

The post adds that “temporary traffic lights” are in place close to the Flying Horse Road “following a landslide at the weekend”.

The post adds: “Road users are advised to allow extra time for their journey in this area”.

The road was initially closed at the weekend.

At that time TrafficwatchNI posted: “Killough bound carriageway will remain CLOSED today following a land slide from the junction of Flying Horse Rd to Main St Killough,” says the post.

“Diversion route is via; Flying Horse Rd, Ardglass Rd, Quay St, A2 Killough Rd to Killough”.
