Infrastructure Minister has announced that a £445,000
carriageway resurfacing scheme on the Doagh Road, Ballyclare is
commencing this week.
The resurfacing scheme will extend approximately 710m along the
Doagh Road, between Park Avenue and the Square.
Minister Kimmins said:
“This is a substantial investment for the Ballyclare area which
will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users.
The investment demonstrates my commitment to investing in and
improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our
businesses and communities. This work will greatly improve the
strength and surface quality of this section of the road network
to the benefit of residents, businesses and those travelling in
the local area. Work is expected to be substantially
completed by Friday 29 August 2025. I would like to thank
residents, local businesses and commuters for their patience
while this essential infrastructure work is carried out.”
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be
necessary to implement a road closure from The Square to Clare
Heights, which will be operational weekdays from 8am to 6pm from
Monday 4 August 2025 to Friday 29 August 2025.
During the times of the road closure a diversionary route will be
signed as follows: B95 Doagh Road, B94 North End, B94
Rashee Road, B56 Jubilee Road and vice-versa.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic
management arrangements to minimise inconvenience however, while
steps have been taken to accommodate local access and Translink
bus and school services throughout the scheme, road users should
expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when
travelling in the vicinity of the works and are asked to comply
with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be
substantially complete by Friday 29 August 2025, however the
Department will keep the public informed of any change.
