Lane closure on Warren Gardens to facilitate NI Water work
19 February 2025 17:40
NI Water is due to install essential new wastewater infrastructure on a section of Warren Gardens, Lisburn next week to improve the operation of the sewerage network.
This work will involve the laying of around 100m of new stormwater pipe and the construction of associated manholes on Warren Gardens between its junctions with Ward Avenue and Jubilee Avenue.
Speaking about the work and the required traffic management, NI Water Senior Project Manager, Mark Henderson said: “The extension of the stormwater network on Warren Gardens will remove storm (rain) water from this part of the combined wastewater system. This will help to reduce the risk of out-of-sewer flooding in the area and provide increased capacity in the network.
“The work is scheduled to start on Tuesday 25th February 2025 and will take approximately 3 weeks to complete.
“To carry out the work in the safest possible manner, a lane closure will be in place on Warren Gardens between Ward Avenue and Jubilee Avenue. Traffic lights will be in place to manage the flow of traffic, however, we would advise motorists to allow extra time for journeys while this work is ongoing.
“Pedestrian access will be available at all times and our contractor BSG-Phace will be in contact with all properties along the pipeline route to help them maintain access.
“We would take this opportunity to highlight to the public that construction sites are dangerous areas for unauthorised persons. Working areas will have warning signs in place to protect the public from any hazards. The public are advised to stay out of these working areas for their own safety.
“NI Water and our project team from BSG-Phace and AtkinsRéalis thank local residents, businesses and motorists for their patience and cooperation while we complete this essential work to deliver environmental improvements and help support new development in the Lisburn area. The team will strive to keep disruption to a minimum and complete the work in the shortest possible timeframe.”
