16 July 2024 11:45

NI Water, through our appointed contractor, BSG-Phace Group Ltd is due to commence work next week to install new infrastructure to serve a development of apartments on Broadway in Bangor.

The essential work – which will involve the laying of around 110m of stormwater pipe and the construction of associated manholes on Hamilton Road, Donaghadee Road and Broadway - will take approximately 4 weeks to complete overall.

To carry out the work in the safest possible manner, the following traffic management will be in place:

Hamilton Road: A road closure will be in place on Hamilton Road between Donaghadee Road and Hamilton Terrace from 22^nd July for approximately 4 weeks. Residents on Hamilton Road, located between the roundabout and Ballyholme Road, should access their properties from Ballyholme Road.

Donaghadee Road: A lane closure will be in place on Donaghadee Road between Hamilton Road and Broadway Road from 22^nd July for 4 weeks. Traffic lights will be in place to manage the flow of traffic.

Broadway Road: A road closure will be in place on Broadway Road, between Donaghadee Road and Hazeldene Avenue from 29^th July for a period of around 3 weeks. Access to Nos. 2 and 4 Broadway will be provided. Residents beyond the Savoy Apartment development should access their properties via the direction of Hazeldene Avenue or Moira Park.

Pedestrian access will be available at all times. A letter drop has been completed in the area and our contractor will be in contact with residents along the pipeline route regarding access.

NI Water and BSG-Phace take this opportunity to thank local residents, businesses and the general public for their patience and cooperation while we undertake this essential work to serve a new housing development in Bangor. BSG-Phace will strive to keep disruption to a minimum and complete the work in the shortest possible timeframe.
