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.
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.
Construction is planned to take place between Dromara Street and Balfour Avenue as part of the Centre and South Belfast Network Reinforcement Project.
The work is scheduled to commence on Tuesday 3rd December and provisionally end on Friday 20th December 2024. It will be completed along the grass verge with some work taking place on Saturdays to help minimise the duration of the programme.

Phoenix Energy will be working on the two citybound lanes of the Ormeau Road at Dromara Street on Saturday 9th November to complete pipe laying across the road.
The two citybound lanes will be taken out, but traffic heading towards the city and towards the country will be able to flow due to our traffic management.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane in both directions through the site. Works are anticipated to last until early afternoon only. There will be no Sunday working due to Remembrance Sunday.
Please download the map to view the area of works.
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.
