Date published:
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that a £240,000 carriageway and footway resurfacing scheme on Horn Drive, Belfast commenced on Monday 28 April 2025.
The resurfacing scheme extends from the junction of Suffolk Road to the junction of Lenadoon Ave and includes the Horn Drive Cul De Sac.
Infrastructure Minister Kimmins said:
“This substantial investment of £240,000 for West Belfast will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users who travel through this area and demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. I would like to thank residents for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out.”
To facilitate the scheme, it will be necessary to implement weekday lane closures for the duration of the works from Monday 28 April 2025 until Friday 25 July 2025, between the hours of 8am and 6pm.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience. However, whilst steps have been taken to accommodate local access, road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works. Road users are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works are anticipated to be complete by Friday 25 July 2025. The Department will however keep the public informed of any change.
