We regret to inform you that the lane closure at Whitehouse Working Men’s Club will be extended until Wednesday 12th February.

This is a complex engineering project which has been delayed for various reasons: time lost due to the red weather warning storm, and we experienced difficult drilling conditions. Once the road has been reinstated fully, our teams will need at least 72-96 hours to ensure that the concrete has cured sufficiently to allow for A Road traffic volume.

All going well, we’re aiming to complete works at Whitehouse junction by Wednesday 12th February. We want to thank the Whiteabbey community for your continued patience and understanding throughout this network reinforcement project.

Unfortunately, we are experiencing a delay in the completion of works on the Shore Road, at the junction of Whitehouse Park. Works were due to finish on Wednesday 5th February but due to difficult weather and ground conditions, construction has been delayed by 2 days. Therefore, the amended project completion date is Friday 7th February.

We’ll do everything possible to minimise the inconvenience caused by this work. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Phoenix Energy on 03454 555 555 or email info@phoenixenergyni.com

Week commencing Monday 20th January, works will take place on the Shore Road, at the junction of Whitehouse Park / Shore Road until Wednesday 5th February. Traffic will be maintained in both directions as work takes place with manned traffic lights used to allow motorists through the site.

Phoenix Energy are carrying out essential network reinforcement works on the Shore Road Newtownabbey to support the needs of our existing and growing customer base. We regret the level of impact this is having to commuter traffic Belfast bound.

We carried out extensive local engagement prior to construction work commencing and continue to proactively engage with third party agencies to consider further traffic alleviation measures.

Phoenix Energy are committed to carrying out these works in a manner that minimises wider impact for the duration of these essential works, and we will keep local representatives informed of progress with the work and with any proposed traffic management considerations. Timescales and updates on the works will be available across our digital platforms.
