Resurfacing scheme planned for Ballymena town centre
Date published:
A £250,000 scheme to resurface Ballymena town centre streets will commence on Monday 19 June.
Following on from the recent council public realm works, the resurfacing will provide new asphalt road surfaces for Church Street, Wellington Street and Ballymoney Street.
The footways within the town centre were reconstructed as part of the public realm scheme and the planned resurfacing works will address the very poor condition of existing road surfaces. Upon completion it will provide a significant improvement to the urban network and appearance of the town centre.
Resurfacing works will include new asphalt surfaces along Church Street from Broadway to Linenhall Street, Wellington Street from Mill Street to Broadway and also Ballymoney Street from Broadway to Hill Street. Work will commence on Monday 19 June 2017 and is scheduled for completion by Friday 7 July 2017.
To protect the safety of the travelling public and retail customers during the works on this busy part of the road network, it will be necessary to introduce temporary traffic management arrangements.
The Department for Infrastructure has carefully programmed the works operations to ensure as much work as possible will be completed outside normal business hours. Traffic management arrangements will be in place to minimise disruption to the activity of the town centre.
The above planned scheme is subject to favourable weather conditions and road users can keep up to date with this and other schemes on:
