A spokesperson for the Department for Infrastructure Roads Service said: “To allow for the completion of drainage and kerb/footway repairs prior to resurfacing it will be necessary to close one lane of Avenue Road from Monday 3 July – Friday 7July and Monday 24 July – Friday 11 August 2023.
"A full road closure will be required to facilitate the final resurfacing, however, the Department will keep the public informed in advance of the closures and a diversionary route will be clearly signed.
The Department has carefully planned these road works and associated traffic management arrangements in order to minimise inconvenience to the public, however road users should allow additional time when planning their journeys.
