New Footway To Be Developed In East Belfast

Work is to begin to develop a new footway in Castlereagh, east Belfast.

The £275,000 project will provide 400 metres of new footway on Church Road between Manse Road and the Henry Jones Playing fields. It will improve local pedestrian access and enhance road safety, particularly for school children.


The work is to commence on Monday, 24 July.

The Department for Infrastructure has programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience to the public. However, to ensure the safety of the public and contractors, it is necessary to close Church Road from 7am to 5pm daily from the 24 July to the 02 September.

Local diversions will be in place and access to properties and amenities on Church Road will be maintained from Ballygowan Road.
