Work will get underway on Monday 07 March, extending from Kirkwoods Road in a southerly direction for 650 metres towards Harmony Hill. It is expected reach completion by 02 September 2022.
During these dates, a series of of phased lane and road closures will be implemented. Lane closures will be in place Monday to Friday from Monday 07 March until Friday 02 September between the hours of 8am and 6pm. A full road closure will also be required from 27 June until 08 July and from 25 July until 29 July.
A signed diversionary route will be in place, and local access for residents and emergency services will be maintained at all times.
Speaking about the upcoming scheme, Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This significant investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network to the benefit of local residents and those who travel through the area.
"As part of the scheme existing footways will also be renewed with lowered kerb and tactile paving provided at all road junctions / crossings points, which will improve safety for pedestrians and in particular vulnerable road users such as children, the elderly, those who are visually impaired and those with a disability.
"I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed."
