£2m Flood Scheme Takes Shape In Ballymena

Local Ballymena residents have been invited to the site of the Toome Road Flood Alleviation Scheme to see how the project is taking shape.

Councillor Rodney Quigley was joined by members of the community to witness work on the £2 million project first hand yesterday, 30 January.

This scheme will bring major benefits to the Toome Road/Wakehurst Road area, including reducing the future risk of flooding, as well as increasing the capacity of the existing sewerage system.

It involves the upgrade of existing sewers, as well as the installation of new sewers on Wakehurst Park, Wakehurst Road, Queen Street and Toome Road. Construction of a large underground storage tank is also underway on land adjacent to the council playing fields at Wakehurst Road.

BSG Civil Engineering is the main contractor for this major project with McAdam Design providing Project Management and technical support.

NI Water will continue to liaise with local stakeholders regarding traffic management up until the project's completion in Spring 2020.
