£290,000 road improvement and street lighting scheme for Antrim town

A £290,000 scheme to resurface the road and upgrade street lighting on Oriel Road, Antrim is underway.

The resurfacing up to the junction with Steeple Road will improve the strength and surface quality of the road, while the upgrade of the street lighting to an energy efficient LED system will enhance the quality of lighting.  In addition, as part of road improvement works in the town, the existing zebra crossing at the Chapel Corner roundabout will be upgraded to a puffin crossing. All works are expected to be completed by 11 August 2017.

To help minimise any inconvenience to the travelling public and local businesses the majority of this work is programmed to be completed using off-peak lane closures while operating a one way system where traffic flow will be maintained.

The work is subject to favourable weather conditions and DfI Roads will keep the public informed of any change.

DfI has carefully programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements 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.
