£180,000 road resurfacing scheme on Stranmillis Road, Belfast
Date published:
A £180,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on a section of the Stranmillis Road, Belfast is to commence on Wednesday 1 August 2018.
The scheme on the Stranmillis Road, from its junction with Malone Road to the junction with Richmond Park, will greatly improve the surface quality of the carriageway.
Work will be carried out over ten consecutive days and will involve a road closure between 09.30 am and 16.30 pm each day with signed diversionary routes in operation during these times.
In order to help ensure the safety of road users and road workers the public is asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions and follow the signed diversionary routes when required. (Citybound – Malone Road, University Road, University Street, Ormeau Road, Annadale Embankment, Governors Bridge, Stranmillis Embankment and Stranmillis Road Roundabout; Countrybound – Stranmillis Road Roundabout, Stranmillis Embankment, Ormeau Road, A55 Newtownbreda Road, A55 Belvoir Road, A55 Milltown Road and Malone Road).
Whilst the Department for Infrastructure has carefully planned these road works and associated traffic management arrangements over the summer months when traffic flows are generally expected to be much lower, motorists should expect some delay and allow additional time when planning their journey.
The dates and duration of the road closures will be dependent on the progress of the scheme and on favourable weather conditions
