Roadworks Begin In Belfast

A programme of road improvements has got underway in Belfast.

The Department for Infrastructure is investing £270,000 in the carriageway and footway resurfacing scheme on Cherry Road.

The improvement works will extend for a distance of 550 metres from Upper Dunmurry Lane to Cherry Gardens and will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users.


Work began on Monday 23 January and is expected to run until Friday 24 March.

To help ensure the safety of road users it will be necessary to implement localised lane closures while the footway works are ongoing and a full road closure when the carriageway works are ongoing. The majority of the works will be completed Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm, however, the final carriageway works are expected to take place at weekends when the local school is closed and network traffic is much reduced.

Road users should expect delays and allow additional time when planning any journey.
