The proposed works will involve the replacement and repair of defective sewers within the area covered by the Lisburn Linkages Public Realm Scheme. This will include areas of Bridge Street, Antrim Street, Railway Street and Castle Street.

Works will commence in Bridge Street, and will include a section of open dig sewer replacement, a number of localised open dig repairs, along with a significant amount of trenchless sewer relining and repairs. Trenchless underground 'no-dig' techniques will be used where possible to minimise disruption and will involve access through existing manholes.

Diversions will be put in place during the works.
