Contractor E Quinn Civils has been appointed by NI Water to undertake work on a new storm sewer in Ballymena.

The work, which is taking place in the Sand Road/Galgorm Road area, involves laying 400m of storm sewer to serve a new housing development currently under construction on the Sand Road. 

Following a two-week suspension to facilitate the Irish Open Golf, work on the verge adjacent to Galgorm Road is now almost complete and the next section will involve crossing the Galgorm roundabout in 3 separate phases.

Traffic arrangements have been agreed with the Department for Infrastructure. In order to minimise the impact of these work on residents, business and road users and allow work to be carried out safely, they will be undertaken outside of peak hours, with some night-time/early morning works.

Phase 1:
Monday 19 – Thursday 22 October between 7pm and 6am
Traffic control will be in operation overnight on the roundabout with a diversion in place for traffic accessing the Galgorm Castle complex.

Phase 2: 
Monday 26 – Friday 30 October between 9.30am and 3pm 
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane through the roundabout during the day.

Phase 3:
Monday 2 – Friday 5 November between 7pm and 6am
Traffic control will be in operation overnight on the roundabout with a diversion in place for traffic accessing the Galgorm Castle complex.

All appropriate signage and temporary traffic controls will be in place during these times, however, delays should be expected.
