Belfast Tidal Flood Alleviation Scheme Training Exercise
Date published:
A training exercise to install the temporary defences, which form part of the Belfast Tidal Flood Alleviation Scheme, will take place between 28 July and 2 August.
This will be at locations along the banks and towpaths of the River Lagan from Stranmillis to Belfast Harbour. The aim is to familiarise staff with the equipment and to practice emergency response procedures.
The Department has engaged with multi-agency partners to carefully programme the exercise to minimise inconvenience. Whilst it is not intended to close any roads, there may be some short-term disruption and footpath closures. Advisory signs will be provided at a number of locations, including along the towpath.
The Department would like to thank the public in advance for their patience. Further details, including locations and programme, are available at: Belfast Tidal FAS Training Exercise
