Storm Darragh: updated list of areas in the province where fallen trees and other hazards are causing disruption or leading to road closures

Police are warning there are multiple trees down in the Ballyclare Road area of Templepatrick, on approach to the M2 Belfast-bound. Motorists are urged to exercise caution.

Due to concerns about scaffolding as a result of the adverse weather conditions at the Queens Road in Belfast, Belfast Harbour Police are currently on the scene providing traffic management. Alternative access to both the Titanic Museum and Titanic Hotel are available, says the PSNI.

Meanwhile, the M1 has fully re-opened following an earlier closure due to an insecure roof of a premises.

Police in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon are reporting that many roads across the district have fallen debris or flooding. Officers are responding to a number of storm-related calls with other emergency services and partner agencies.
