New LED lighting is to be installed along the A2 in Bangor.

The £1 million scheme, from the Ballyrobert Road junction to the Springhill Road, is to replace the existing lighting which is over 40 years old.

The new lighting will improve the quality of street lighting in the area, increase reliability and reduce the need for disruptive maintenance visits which will reduce both energy and maintenance costs.

The scheme will be carried out in conjunction with a similar lighting replacement scheme which commenced at the start of July at the Springhill intersection where the existing high mast units are being replaced with conventional lighting columns also using LED light sources.

Traffic management arrangements will be in place throughout the period of the works and diversions will be put in place.
