Major resurfacing works have been scheduled in Belfast over the Bank Holiday weekend, the Roads Service has announced.

Work will take place on Nelson Street and Great Georges Street between 28 – 30 August.

Road closures will be in place from 9pm today (Friday 28 August) to 10pm on Sunday 30 August.

A partial road closure will also be required for York Street Link during this period but this will be removed from 9am on Saturday 29 August to 6am on Sunday 30 August.

As the closures will affect the M2 and M3 Motorways, local traffic travelling to the Westlink/ M1 and M3/ Bangor bound traffic from the Westlink will experience delays, the Roads Service said.

Diversionary routes will be signed during the period of the works.

Colin Brown, Network Maintenance Manager for Roads Service Eastern Division said: "The works are being undertaken to improve the safety and structural integrity of the road.

"Roads Service has carefully programmed the works operations and the traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public."
