The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has updated Belfast City Council on the progress of roadworks and future plans for the city, despite challenges in securing funding for the 2024/25 budget. DfI aims to enhance local transport, improve safety, and maintain the road network.
The Department for Infrastructure has given an update on roadworks across Belfast , highlighting some work that is due to be completed in the coming months.
"The Department’s 2024/25 budget allocation is challenging however we will continue to prioritise essential frontline services. Minister O’Dowd has recently allocated almost £19m from October monitoring for essential and structural road maintenance and street lighting work. He has also funded a £1m targeted intervention for gully emptying given the potential impact of severe weather and the resultant risk of flooding.
Mr McFarlane continued: “Currently, a full street lighting repair service will remain in effect during 2024/25.
