Phoenix Energy are carrying out essential planned reinforcement of our network on the Upper Newtownards Road. This is to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of our growing and existing customer base now, and into the future.
This project started on 26th August 2024 and is scheduled to continue until the end of April 2025.
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.
Gas works are currently paused for the festive season as the embargo continues until early January 2025. The final phase of works will start at the Stoney Road junction on Monday 6th January 2025, moving citybound to Hawthornden Way.
Two central lanes will be closed as work takes place, allowing traffic to flow via one lane in a citybound and country bound direction. The works are scheduled for approximately 16 weeks, ending April 2025.
Local diversions will be in place for side streets and all work will be carried out in small sections to minimise impact to commuters.

Phases 1 to 3 are now complete which allows us to move onto Phase 4, starting at Dundonald Cemetery, and moving citybound to the Rosepark junction, scheduled for a 2-week period starting Monday 11th November until Sunday 24th November.
Two central lanes will be closed as work takes place, allowing traffic to flow via one lane in a citybound and country bound direction.
There will be an embargo on all roadworks from Monday 25th November until the beginning of January which means there will not be any disruption to commuters and Christmas shoppers throughout December.
