The work to introduce new bus lanes as part of the Belfast on The Move initiative has now moved to Wellington Place, Chichester Street and Donegall Square East.

Alterations to kerb lines and traffic islands are underway and re-surfacing will be carried out with night time road closures over the next 2 weeks.

From Friday 17 May a bus lane will come into operation on Donegall Square East. This will restrict movement from Donegall Square East into Adelaide Street to buses, taxis, motorcycles and cycles only between 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday.

There is no change to traffic arrangements for vehicles turning left into Adelaide Street from May Street.

A spokesperson from the Department for Regional Development’s Roads Service said: "Beginning on Friday traffic travelling from Wellington Place and Donegall Square East will no longer be permitted to cross May Street into Adelaide Street. The new restrictions will apply from 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday."
