A major £2.4m road safety improvement scheme will commence at The Cutts junction Dunmurry on Monday 14 October.
The scheme will provide significant safety improvements for right turning vehicles and pedestrians by widening of the McKinstry Road to accommodate a revised traffic signal layout at the busy McKinstry Road /Derriaghy Road /The Cutts junction.
In order to complete the work safely it will be necessary to implement lane closures throughout the duration of the scheme.
The number of running lanes will also be reduced to one lane of in each direction as the work progresses, particularly in the Belfast bound direction over the initial weeks of the scheme to allow for the carriageway widening.
Derriaghy Road will be closed from mid November for 20 weeks to allow for carriageway widening, slip road construction and culvert works.
Delays to traffic in the vicinity of the works are inevitable and where possible road users should consider an alternative route while the Department completes the works.
The works are progressing on programme and on the 6th of January they enter Phase 3 and 4 which involves the widening of the citybound side in order to create a permanent layout of two running lanes in each direction and right turn lanes into Knockbracken Health Care Centre and Knockbraken Road. This also includes construction of a retaining wall, utility diversions, new footpath, and enhanced pedestrian facilities. During this period citybound traffic on the Saintfield Road will be reduced to one lane.
In order to do this safety, it will be necessary to close Knockbraken Road for a 5-month period until the final layout is in operation. We appreciate this in a considerable inconvenience to residents but understand the reasons.
A 30mph speed limit remains on the main Saintfield in the vicinity of the works.
