£175,000 road improvement scheme at Ashbury Avenue, Bangor
Date published:
A £175,000 road improvement scheme at Ashbury Avenue, Bangor has commenced.
The resurfacing scheme will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the carriageway on a 1km section of this important road in Bangor. Work is expected to be completed by late August.
To help ensure the safety of road users and contractors it will be necessary to operate road closures during the course of the improvements, from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm from Monday 30 July to Friday 31 August (excluding weekends).
Traffic seeking access to Ashbury Avenue will be diverted via Silverbirch Road, Ballycrochan Road, High Donaghadee Road, South Circular Road, Gransha Road and Bexley Road.
Local access will be maintained and all diversions and restrictions will be clearly signposted.
The planned dates for the scheme are subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
The works operations and traffic management arrangements have been carefully programmed in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, however motorists should be aware that some delays may be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.
