Description

The project is for the provision of a contractor to undertake Strabane Public Realm Scheme. The scheme will include a number of streets within the town centre boundary as noted below. The proposed works will include high quality paving, kerbing in natural stone and carriageway realignment and resurfacing. Other works include earthworks, demolition, drainage and the supply and installation of street lighting, utility diversions, signage, street furniture and soft landscaping.
