NI Water has launched the first of two sewer projects which will transform underground infrastructure in Belfast.
Two schemes will be delivered by contractors A G Wilson Civil Engineering & Conwell Contracts in the Abetta Parade/Beersbridge Road Areas to serve new social housing developments.
Work began on Abetta Parade on 03 September and will run for five weeks. This will involve sewer laying on Abetta Parade and the Beersbridge Road, along with associated manholes.
There will be an initial three weeks work on Abetta Parade during which time a one-way road closure will be in place. Access to Abetta Pararde from Beersbridge Road will be maintained during this time. However, there will be no access to Abetta Parade from the Beersbridge Road; a diversion route will be clearly signposted via Woodcot Avenue/Hynford Street. A further two weeks works will then take place on Beersbridge Road, at which time a lane closure will be in place. Two-way traffic will be maintained with the use of temporary traffic signals.
Following these upgrades, further work will commence on the Beersbridge Road on Monday 16 September and will take approximately nine weeks to complete. This project will involve laying sewers and associated manholes on the Beersbridge Road, between Elmgrove Primary School and Grove Street East.
To accommodate the works there will be a road closure in place over a small section of Grove Street East for approximately five weeks, commencing on Monday 23 September. During this time no access will be possible to and from Beersbridge Road, a diversion route will be clearly signposted. Two-way traffic will be maintained on Beersbridge Road; however, the cycle lanes on both sides of the carriageway will be suspended for the duration of the works. Access will be maintained for residents at all times but parking may be restricted on occasion.
