Contractors Dawson WAM have started work on a £5 million scheme to improve the sewerage infrastructure in Belfast.
The upgrade work is taking place in the Ormeau area, which will include Ormeau Avenue, Dublin Road, Bruce Street, Sandy Row and sections of the lower Ormeau Road.
The project will reduce the risk of out of sewer flooding in the part of the sewerage network during periods of heavy rainfall.
Environmental pollution will also be reduced, and the scheme will significantly improve the water quality in the River Lagan. Initial works are now underway and include site set-up at the new Wastewater Pumping Station site on Hardcastle Street.
The first phase of construction on the road works will commence on 05 February on Adelaide Street, with work progressing from the Ormeau Avenue end.
Diversions will be put in place during the works.
