£350,000 resurfacing works to begin in Hillsborough

The work is due to begin on Monday October 14 between Lisburn Street and Aghnatrisk Road.

The Minister said: “This scheme will increase the life of the road, greatly improving the strength and ride quality of the carriageway along this busy route.”

Works on Culcavy Road, will commence each morning from approximately 8am and continue until 6pm each evening and during these works lane closures and temporary traffic controls will be in operation.

The scheme is expected to be complete by late November 2013.

During the final phase of the works, a full closure will be in place to ensure the safety of road users and the operation on site. Diversions will be signed accordingly.

The above planned dates are subject to favourable weather conditions and Roads Service will keep the public informed of any change.

Local consultation has taken place and Roads Service has carefully programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public. Motorists, however, should be aware that some delays may be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.
