£444,000 Resurfacing Scheme To Begin On Ballynahinch Road, Lisburn

Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that a £444,000 footway and carriageway resurfacing scheme on Ballynahinch Road, Lisburn will commence on Monday 3 November 2025.

The project will see the resurfacing of approximately 0.87 kilometres of roadway, extending from the junction of Young Street to Strawberry Hill Lane.

Minister Kimmins said: "This is a substantial investment for the Lisburn area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users and demonstrates my commitment to improving our 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 facilitate the works, lane closures will be in operation on Ballynahinch Road between Young Street and Strawberry Hill Lane from Monday to Friday, 8.00 am to 6.00 pm, beginning on 3 November 2025 and continuing until the end of February 2026. Work will pause for two weeks over the Christmas period.

The Department for Infrastructure has scheduled operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise disruption as much as possible. While local access will be maintained where feasible, road users are advised to expect some delays and to allow additional time for journeys. Drivers are also reminded to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions in place.

Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works are expected to be substantially complete by Friday 27 February 2026.
