£300,000 resurfacing scheme for Antrim Road, Newtownabbey

A £300,000 road improvement is due to commence on the Antrim Rd, Newtownabbey on Monday 10 September.

The work will resurface approximately 800m of carriageway and replace iron work between Bellevue Bridge and Church Way.

To facilitate the work, overnight closures will be in place between 7.00 pm and 6.00 am from 10 September until 15 September.  Daily lane closures will be in place between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm from 10 September until 21 September.

A full road closure will be required between 6.00 am and 8.00 pm on Sunday 23 September and Sunday 30 September to allow final resurfacing to be completed.

The work has been carefully planned to minimise disruption. However road users can expect some delays and should allow extra time when planning their journeys. Local diversions will be clearly signposted throughout the scheme.

The work is expected to be completed by early October. Dates are, however, subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department for Infrastructure will keep the public informed of any change.
