The work will resurface approximately 500m of carriageway and associated footways and is expected to be completed by Monday 23 April.

Most of the work will be carried out using a one way closure, with Ballyclare bound traffic diverted along the Trenchill Road and Ballyeaston Road. Doagh bound traffic will use the Cogry Road, Bridge Road, Mill Road and Station Road.  All diversions will be clearly signposted and to help minimise inconvenience to the travelling public and local businesses the majority of the work will be completed off peak.

A full road closure is however necessary to lay the final road surface and this work will be carried out during weekends to reduce the impact. At this stage this is planned to take place from 6.00 am on Saturday 24 March until 6.00 am Monday 26 March and from 6.00 am on Saturday 14 April until 6.00 am on Monday 16 April.  Advance notification and diversion routes will be signposted. 

Those travelling through Ballyclare to other locations such as Ballymena or Belfast may want to take alternative routes during the period of these works. Pedestrian access along Rashee Road will be maintained at all times.

The above dates are dependent on favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change. For more information about this and other improvement schemes visit: www.trafficwatchni.com.
