Infrastructure Minister announces £444,000 road improvement scheme for Ballynahinch Road, Lisburn
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that a £444,000 footway and carriageway resurfacing scheme on Ballynahinch Road, Lisburn will commence on Monday November 3, 2025.
The resurfacing scheme will extend for approximately 0.87 km from the junction of Young Street to Strawberry Hill Lane on the Ballynahinch Road.
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins said: “This is a substantial investment for the Lisburn area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users and demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities.
"I would like to thank residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out.”
To facilitate the scheme, it will be necessary to implement road lane closures (Monday to Friday only) on Ballynahinch Road, between Young Street and Strawberry Hill Lane, during the hours of 8am and 6pm from Monday November 3, 2025 until the end of February 2026.
Work will be suspended for two weeks over the Christmas period.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience.
However, whilst steps have been taken to accommodate local access, road users should expect some delays and should allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works. Road users should also comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, it is anticipated that the works will be substantially complete by Friday February 27, 2026. The Department will however keep the public informed of any change.
