A footway and carriageway resurfacing scheme in Harberton Park, Belfast will commence on Monday 24 July 2023.
The improvement works will extend from Bristow Park to Upper Malone Road and will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the footways and carriageway in this section of the road network to the benefit of residents, local schools and those who travel through the area. It is expected all work will take approximately nine weeks to complete.
To facilitate safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement localised lane closures initially with a full road closure to follow when the carriageway works commence.
The majority of the scheme will be completed during the hours of 8.00 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday. Full details of closures will be displayed in advance.
Road users are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions and to drive with care when travelling in the vicinity of the roadworks.
Whilst the Department has carefully planned these roadworks and associated traffic management arrangements in order to minimise inconvenience to the public, road users should allow additional time when planning their journeys.
Completion of the work by mid-September is subject to favourable weather conditions, however, the Department will keep the public informed of any change. All work will be carried out in line with current public health and health and safety advice, with safe systems of working in place for staff and contractors.
