A £300k resurfacing scheme began today in Dunmurry Lane, Belfast.

The scheme, which is expected to take two weeks to complete, will deliver long-term improvements for residents, businesses and commuters by improving the quality of this key route and enhancing road safety.

In order to facilitate the works, a road closure has been set in place during off-peak hours, from 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.

A diversion will be in place for road users via Finaghy Road South and Upper Malone Road.

Announcing the project, Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd said: "This resurfacing scheme is a substantial investment in the infrastructure of Belfast.

"Dunmurry Lane is an important route for the local community and those travelling to and from the city. These works will deliver smoother, safer journeys and reduce the need for ongoing maintenance.

"While these works may cause some short-term inconvenience, the long-term benefits for road users will far outweigh any disruption. I want to thank the local community for their patience and understanding during this period."
