“Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative main routes for their journey.”

A Department for Infrastructure (DfI) spokesperson added: “There is no indication of when the building is likely to be safe enough to allow the road to be reopened.

“Diversions are in place. Belfast bound traffic via Fortwilliam Park and A2 Shore Road. Glengormley bound traffic via Cavehill Road and A55 North Circular Road.

“Road users are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes for their journey.”
