Northern Ireland Executive
01 Sep 2023, 21 GMT+10

A footway and carriageway resurfacing scheme in Forthriver Road, Belfast will commence on Monday 4 September 2023.

The improvement works will extend for a distance of approximately 720 metres from Forthriver Drive to the end of Forthriver Road and will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users.

To help ensure the safety of road users and workers 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 7.00 am to 6.00 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 road works. Subject to favourable weather conditions all works will be completed by Friday 1 December 2023, 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.

Whilst the Department has carefully planned these road works and associated traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, road users should expect delays and allow additional time when planning any journey.
