Contractors are preparing to start work on a £190,000 resurfacing project in Belfast.

The work on Middlepath Street is to begin on 19 September.

The scheme, which extends from Station Street to the M3 Middlepath off-slip, will be completed between the hours of 7am and 6pm over two consecutive weekends; Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September and on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September.

To ensure the work is carried out safely, Middlepath Street will be closed to traffic from Queen Elizabeth Bridge on each of these days, however, access will be maintained to Queens Quay and the harbour estate.

During the periods of closure a diversionary route will be clearly signed via Oxford Street, Albertbridge Road and Templemore Avenue. Access for motorists to the M3 from Bridge End will not be possible during the works and this traffic will be diverted via Queens Bridge, Ann Street, Dunbar Link and York Street.

Middlepath Street will remain open for pedestrians and cyclists at all times.
