Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This £350,000 investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the strategic road network in East Belfast to the benefit of all those who travel along this busy route. This is important work in future-proofing our roads and delivers a more dependable, durable and most importantly safer network for all modes of transport.
