DfI says Belfast traffic chaos could be cut by walking, cycling, using public transport or working at home.
As heavy traffic congestion continues to impact across Belfast city centre, the Department for Infrastructure has asked people to work from home one day per week.
Alongside these measures the DfI are looking at road engineering measures, public transport interventions and providing the public with information. With regards to Durham street Mr Woods said: "I have acknowledged that the closure of Durham street has had a significant impact on traffic and so we have taken a number of actions to try and make changes where we can."Mr Woods said the Department was concerned that the Sydenham Bypass would need "emergency closures" over the winter if the work didn't go ahead this year.
