Minister Kimmins said: "This is a substantial investment for the Portballintrae area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users. The investment demonstrates my commitment to improving our rural road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. I would like to thank residents, local businesses, and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out."

To ensure the safe delivery of the works, a lane closure will be in place daily from 8am to 6pm between Bayhead Road and Dunluce Road. These temporary traffic restrictions will remain in effect from Monday 28 April until Friday 16 May 2025.

Subject to favourable weather conditions, the resurfacing is expected to be substantially completed by Friday 16 May.
