Road between Ballymena and Ballyclare to be resurfaced

The Collin Road between Ballymena and Ballyclare is to be resurfaced.

Infrastructure Minister, Nichola Mallon has just announced that the £288,000 scheme will start on Monday (27 January).


The scheme which extends from Moorfields Road for 2.2km to Carnlea Road North is expected to be completed by 21 February.

The Minister Mallon said the scheme will greatly enhance the road surface and will better connect the local community and visitors to the area.

A full road closure will be in operation (Monday-Friday) from 7am to 6pm daily from January 27 until February 21.

During the road closure a diversion will be in operation via A36 Moorfields Road, B59 (Tully Road, Doagh Road, Ballymena Road), Main Street Doagh, B95 (Ballyclare Road, Doagh Road) and vice-versa.

The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience, however, drivers should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling.

To help ensure the safety of road users and workers the public is asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions and to drive with extra care when travelling in the vicinity of the works.

The dates and duration of the works will be dependent on the progress of the scheme and on favourable weather conditions.
