Sydenham Bypass To Part Close For Improvements

The busy Sydenham Bypass in Belfast is set to close for resurfacing.

Disruption is expected on the route, which runs by George Best City Airport and connects thousands of residents from the Bangor and Holywood areas to Belfast.

The Department for Infrastructure is investing £400,000 to upgrade a section of the route between Dee Street and George Best Belfast City Airport, with work set to take place over the next three weekends.

Work will begin on Friday 06 March and is expected to reach completion by Monday 23 March.

A series of weekend road closures will take place between 11pm each Friday night until 4.30am the following Monday morning.

Work has been carefully planned to minimise disruption, however some delays can be expected and road users, particularly those travelling to George Best City Airport, are advised to allow extra time for their journey and follow the alternative routes which will be clearly signed on the approaches to the closure.
