Network Reinforcement: City Centre and South Belfast, 2024

Road Reinforcement 2024

Phoenix Energy are carrying out essential planned reinforcement of our network in Belfast city centre and South Belfast. This is to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of our growing and existing customer base now, and into the future.   


We are now 30% of the way through the project, which began on 8th May. Work is scheduled to continue until the end of August 2024.  

We encourage you to keep up to date with progress and upcoming areas of work via this page to best inform your travel arrangements in this area, as timescales are subject to change.    

We have, and will continue to, engage with the Department for Infrastructure, public representatives, and members of the public to identify opportunities to continue minimising the impact on journey times.  

We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during these essential planned works.
