NI Water is set to install new wastewater infrastructure in Ballyclare.

Works will commence on the 23 October next to Ballyclare Wastewater Treatment works.

The improvement works will see the instalment of almost 700 metres of new pumping main on the Templepatrick and Jubilee roads, which will serve a development of over 200 houses in the town.

NI Water Project Manager, Stephanie McBride said: "To carry out the work as safely as possible, it will be necessary to have a temporary lane closure in place on the Templepatrick Road around the working area, between 09.30 and 16.30 daily. Traffic lights will be in place to maintain the flow of traffic. With traffic being down to one lane, we would advise the public to allow more time for their journeys during these off-peak times.

"Work on this section is expected to last up to six weeks. NI Water and our project team from Atkins Réalis and CivCo thank the public for their patience and cooperation while we work to install new infrastructure to serve new housing in the Ballyclare area. Every effort will be taken to minimise disruption and compete the work as quickly as possible."
