£275,000 footway scheme at Church Road, Castlereagh

A £275,000 footway scheme at Church Road, Castlereagh is due to commence on Monday 24 July 2017.

The scheme will provide 400 metres of new footway on Church Road between Manse Road and the Henry Jones Playing fields. This will improve local pedestrian access and enhance road safety, particularly for school children.

The Department for Infrastructure has programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience to the public. However, to ensure the safety of the public and contractors, it is necessary to close Church Road from 7.00 am to 5.00 pm daily from the 24 July to the 2 September.  Local diversions will be in place and access to properties and amenities on Church Road will be maintained from Ballygowan Road.

Advance warning signs will be erected to advise motorists of the commencement of the work.

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