Infrastructure Minister has announced that a £600,000
pedestrian and cycling improvement scheme in Lagmore Avenue,
Belfast is commencing today.
This scheme, which is part of the Belfast Cycling Network
Delivery Plan, includes segregated cycle tracks along Lagmore
Avenue between the junction of Stewartstown Road and Glenfearna
Park.
Minister Kimmins said: “This scheme demonstrates my
commitment to investing in active travel infrastructure by
providing safer and attractive routes that enable people to
choose walking, wheeling and cycling for shorter everyday
journeys.
“Once completed, this scheme will deliver improved active
travel connections to local schools and amenities in the Lagmore
area. Safety will also be improved with the provision of two
toucan crossings at existing crossing points and the introduction
of raised table humps at all minor road accesses to further
assist pedestrian and wheeled users.”
To help ensure the safety of road users and our road workers, it
will be necessary to operate daily lane closures along Lagmore
Avenue between 9.30am and 4.00pm (Mon- Fri) from the 10 March
until late September 2025.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic
management arrangements to minimise inconvenience, however road
users should expect some delays and are advised to allow
additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works and
are asked to comply with all temporary traffic
restrictions.
