28 April 2025
NIE Networks will be carrying out essential works on underground cables in the Sandy Row/Linfield Road area of Belfast from 28 April 2025 to 09 June 2025. This involves upgrading existing underground cables.
NIE Networks along with contracting partners will be working continuously throughout this period including weekends and extending the length of working days in order to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum. Work has been planned to ensure that access is maintained to all businesses throughout the duration of the works and there will be no loss in electricity supply during the works.
Whilst we acknowledge the disruption caused, this work is part of a significant investment in the Belfast area, increasing the reliability and capacity of the electricity network and ensuring it can facilitate a net zero future.
In order for this work to be carried out we plan to work within the existing lane closure (left hand lane) with two lanes still operational. No change to the existing Traffic Management system currently in place.
Road crossing on Linfield Road will be carried out on a Sunday (date still to be arranged), with local access still being maintained.
Pedestrian access will be accommodated at all times with some restrictions in place and clear signage in place.
Full details of diversions will be available on the TrafficWatch NI website at; trafficwatchni.com.
NIE Networks and their contractors will do their upmost to ensure all disruption is kept to a minimum as we recognise the inconvenience to customers.
