The works which will commence on Tuesday 26 March 2024 will include the resurfacing and replacement of high friction surfacing on the East Bound section of the road from Milltown Road to the traffic signals at Tesco.
In order to facilitate the works a series of overnight road closures will be implemented from 8.00pm until 5.00am the next morning. A full road closure will be required for final resurfacing on Sunday 21 April 2024 from 6.00am until 6.00pm. The road will be open at all other times and the Westbound side of the carriageway will be unaffected.

Infrastructure Minister, John O'Dowd said:
"It is vital that all available capital budget within my Department is fully utilised to deliver much needed investment in our infrastructure, including on the maintenance of our roads. I have allocated an additional £1million to address potholes in this financial year and £8.1m to deliver resurfacing schemes to continue to address the poor condition of our road network.
"This substantial investment of £400,000 for the South Belfast area from that additional funding will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users and demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. I would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out.
"I will continue to press for vital funding to ensure our roads are maintained to a high standard."
The works are to be substantially complete by 21 April 2024.
