A £423,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme on Beechill Road, Belfast will commence this Monday, February 23.
The resurfacing scheme will extend for approximately 1.06 km from the junction of Purdysburn Road to the Newtownbreda Road.
To facilitate the scheme, it will be necessary to implement localised lane closures during the first two weeks. This will be followed by full road closures (Mon to Fri only) on Beechill Road, between Purdysburn Road and Newtownbreda Road, during the hours of 8am and 6pm, from Monday, March 9 until the start of May 2026.

A diversion route will be signed along Purdysburn Road, Beechill Road, Saintfield Road, A55 Newtownbreda Road, Belvoir Road, C302 Newtownbreda Road and Beechill Road.
The Department for Infrastructure has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience to road users. However, whilst steps have been taken to accommodate local access, road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works. Roads users are also asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions it is anticipated that the works will be substantially complete by Friday, May 1 2026. The Department says it will keep the public informed of any change.
