Resurfacing work is to start on a £260,000 carriageway project in Lisburn, Co Antrim.

The resurfacing scheme, which begins on Monday 09 August, extends from Beechdene Drive in a northerly direction for 1km towards Derriaghy Road and is expected to be completed by 26 November.

Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "This significant investment will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network to the benefit of local residents and those who travel through the area. I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed."
