“This stretch of road has been in very poor condition for some time and there have been repeated requests for the necessary repairs to be done.
“When completed the work will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of Mayogall Road and will improve road safety for all road users and pedestrians.
“Given the extent of the work required there will be traffic controls in place from the 1st to the 2nd August with a road closure for through traffic necessary on Friday 3rd August.
