Infrastructure Minister has announced that a £280,000
carriageway resurfacing scheme on the M2 Ballymena Bypass Off
Slip and On Slip to and from the Larne Road Roundabout, Ballymena
will commence on Tuesday 18 March 2025.
The resurfacing scheme will extend from the M2 to Larne Road
Roundabout and from the Larne Road Roundabout to the M2 -
approximately 600m in length.
Minister Kimmins said: “This substantial investment
for an important part of the strategic road network will deliver
significant benefits for residents and road users. The investment
demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which
is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. I would
like to thank residents, local businesses, and commuters for
their patience while this essential infrastructure work is
carried out.”
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be
necessary to implement continuous road closures from Tuesday 18
March 2025 until Friday 4 April 2025 to facilitate the
resurfacing works. During the times of the road closures
diversionary routes will be signed as follows:
M2 Slips closure Diversions via: A26 Ballee Road East and A26
Ballee Roundabout.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic
management arrangements to minimise inconvenience. 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.
Subject to favourable weather conditions the works will be
substantially complete by Friday 4 April 2025, however the
Department will keep the public informed of any change.
