The roadside was damaged when a truck overturned at Derreen at around 7.30 this morning
It had been hoped that a two hour closure of the section between Abbeyknockmoy and Horseleap Cross would be adequate to allow for the truck to be removed from the side of the road

However the council's roads crew say the closure had to be extended by a few hours to allow time for the removal and works to re-stabilise an embankment
The road is now open again since 4.30pm
The driver of the truck was taken to hospital this morning as a precaution and no one else was injured
