Hazzard announces £65,000 resurfacing work to start in Saintfield

Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard has announced the start of a £65,000 resurfacing scheme on Comber Street in Saintfield.

The 260 metre resurfacing works extend from the Square in Comber Street to the roundabout at Comber Road. Improvements will also be undertaken to some of the adjacent footways and the drainage system will be upgraded. The scheme will start on Monday 1 August and finish on the 27 August 2016.

The Minister said:

“This significant investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of Comber Street and address ongoing maintenance problems associated with the road.”

A road closure will be in operation generally between 08.00 am and 6.00 pm from Monday 1 August 2016 to Saturday 27 August 2016 (Road open overnight and on Sundays).

Traffic is being diverted via A21 Main Street, A7 Belfast Road and Comber Road.

The above planned closures are subject to favourable weather conditions and TransportNI will keep the public informed of any change.
