they say that in the meantime the Belsize Road will remain closed until the repair works are complete. This period may extend to the end of September 2012.

“Roads Service apologise for the inconvenience caused to the travelling public but remind those affected that the structure is unsafe for traffic” said a statement. A local diversion route using Wilmar Road and Derriaghy Road is signed, while Roads Service has sought to minimise disruption, in works of this nature and magnitude they say it will be ‘unavoidable’.
