Road improvement scheme for Hillhall Road, Lisburn

A £631,000 carriageway and footway resurfacing scheme on B23 Hillhall Road, Lisburn will commence on Monday 22 July 2024.

Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd 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 scheme, it will be necessary to implement a daily road closure (Monday to Friday only) on the Hillhall Road between Drumbeg Road and Carsons Lane during the hours of 9.30 am and 4.30 pm from Monday 22 July 2024 until Friday 13 September 2024. An additional weekend closure to complete resurfacing works has also been programmed for Saturday 14 September 2024 and Sunday 15 September 2024.

During periods of closure a diversion will operate via Drumbeg Road, Ballyskeagh Road, Church Hill, Lambeg Road, Bells Lane, Queensway, Belfast Road, Seymour Street,  Queens Road, Sloan Street, Saintfield Road, Largymore Drive, Hillhall Road and vice versa.

The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience, however, while steps have been taken to accommodate local access,  road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions. 

Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be substantially complete by Sunday 15 September 2024, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
