Significant Progress Being Made On £14m Improvement Scheme

Lagan Construction and NI Water are continuing to make significant progress in the Church Road area near Lisburn as part of the Castor Bay to Belfast Water Trunk Main Scheme.

The work is part of a £14m investment to safeguard water quality and improve the security of supply for NI Water customers.

The contract has involved the construction of a new pumping station beside Temple Golf Club and the laying of a new pipeline along Church Road. Recent work carried out by Lagan Construction Group, involved a number of large connections on the pipeline.


In order to complete all final connections and facilitate the construction of a new telemetry station on Church Road, which will remotely monitor the new pipeline, a road closure will be required.

In agreement with Transport NI, Church Road will be closed to through traffic from its junction with the A24 Carryduff Road to its junction with the Comber Road from Thursday 13 August to Friday 4 September.

The section of Church Road affected by the work lies between the Lough Road junction and the entrance to St. Andrew's Pumping Station, beside Temple Golf Club. The diversion route approved by Transport NI is via Carryduff Road, Saintfield Road and Comber Road.
