Resurfacing Project Continues On The Sydenham Bypass

A £3.8 million road resurfacing project is underway on the city-bound section of the Sydenham Bypass in Belfast, with overnight and weekend closures scheduled to continue until Monday, 25 November.

Weekend closures are taking place over the next eight consecutive weekends, commencing at 10 pm tonight Friday 4 October until 6 am on Monday 7 October, between the Tillysburn junction and the start of the M3 with weeknight overnight closures in operation for the duration of the scheme


During periods of closure a diversionary route will be clearly signed via Holywood Road, Newtownards Road and Middlepath Street. An alternative route will also be available via Holywood Exchange, Airport Road and Sydenham Road. Alternative routes will also be signed for cyclists and pedestrians.

Some weekend and overnight lane closures will also be required on the countrybound lanes to ensure the safety of road workers and the travelling public while deep drainage work is carried out along the central reservation.
