Storm Bram: section of Belfast Road, Carrickfergus closed due to collapsed wall

Road-users are being advised that a closure is currently in place on the Belfast Road in Carrickfergus, from the Trooperslane Road up to the Sloefield Road, due to a collapsed wall.

Trooperslane Road is also closed.

"Please seek an alternative route for your journey,” a PSNI spokesperson said.

Photos on social media show flooding in the area around the sea wall as Storm Bram continues to batter the coastline.

An amber warning for extremely strong winds is in force until 7pm across large parts of Northern Ireland.
