Major Road Works Scheme To Get Underway In Ballymena
A £419,000 road works scheme in Ballymoney will get underway on Monday, 19 August, Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd has announced.
Announcing the carriageway resurfacing scheme on the A26 Frosses Road, Minister O'Dowd said: “This is a substantial investment for the Ballymoney area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users. The investment demonstrates my commitment to improving our rural 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."
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement an overnight road closure between the hours of 7.00 pm and 6.00 am from Monday 19 August 2024 until Saturday 31 August 2024.
During these times, signed diversionary routes will be in place via:
• B16 Kilraughts Road – B62 Ballymena Road – B62 Rodeing Foot – B147 Newal Road – B62 Queen Street – B62 Victoria Street – B62 Charles Street – B62 Coleraine Road – B62 Portrush Road – B62 Ballybogy Road - A26 Frosses Road and vice versa
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience. However, while steps have been taken to accommodate local access and Translink bus services throughout the scheme, road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be substantially complete by Saturday 31 August 2024, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
