A stretch of the popular route has been closed since July for health and safety reasons. The local authority said it was left with no alternative following a rockfall.

At the time, council said the partial closure would be implemented until “an extensive structural assessment” could be made.

A council spokesman told the Carrick Times the tender has been approved and work, which includes hazard assessment, “will commence as soon as possible”.
