From Monday 27 September to Thursday 30 September and from Monday 04 October to Thursday 07 October, the closure will run from 8pm to 6am.

During these times a diversion will be in place. The traffic will be diverted along the C252 Gransha Road, U134 Balloo Road and A21 Newtownards Road. Access for local residents and Bloomfield shopping centre will be maintained.  

The road will be open to traffic outside these hours, there will be no closures in place on Friday and Saturday nights.

Local access for residents, and users of schools, and emergency services will be maintained at all times during the works.

Road users are advised to allow extra time for their journey and to follow the alternative routes which will be clearly signed on the approaches to the closure.
