Police have appealed for motorists to ‘drive with care, reducing your speed in accordance with the adverse weather conditions’.

PSNI made the appeal after confirming that the A1 southbound between Halfway Road and Kilmacure Road junctions had reopened.

The A1 is a major route in Northern Ireland which runs from Belfast via Lisburn and Banbridge to the border with the Republic of Ireland south of Newry.

From there the road continues to Dublin, becoming the N1 road and M1 motorway.
