New Traffic Measures Introduced In Belfast

New traffic measures have been introduced on the Antrim Road in Belfast.

A new tidal urban clearway arrangement will begin to operate from Monday 13 November.

The clearway will operate on the Antrim Road, from its junction with Cliftonville Road to the M2 overbridge, just south of Glengormley. It will apply only on the Belfast bound lanes in the morning from 8am to 9.30am and on the country bound lanes in the evening from 4:30pm to 6pm.

The clearway on the section of Antrim Road, from Carlisle Circus to Cliftonville Road, will continue to operate in both directions during both the morning and evening periods in order to maintain good traffic progression levels.
