Major Resurfacing Scheme Announced By Dept For Infrastructure

A £119,000 road improvement scheme has been announced by the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland.

The works on the Trench Road, Lisburn will commence on Monday 03 September.

The resurfacing works, on the stretch between Agnatrisk Road and Moira Road, will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the road.

To facilitate the work it will be necessary to operate a daily road closure. From 03 September until 07 September the road closure will be in operation between 9.30 am and 6.00 pm and from 08 September until 01 October it will operate between 8.00 am and 6.00 pm. During these times a diversionary route will be in operation via the Agnatrisk Road and Moira Road.

Road users may experience some delays in the vicinity and should allow additional time when planning any journeys.

It is expected work will be substantially completed by early October, however, this is subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
