DfI confirms small-scale resurfacing planned

Sand Road, Galgorm

A spokesperson for the Department for Infrastructure confirmed that some small-scale resurfacing is planned for Sand Road.

However, the department said it is currently awaiting confirmed start dates from the contractor before works can begin.

The planned resurfacing scheme is intended to address the condition of the road surface, which has been a concern locally for some time.

While motorists and nearby residents are likely to experience temporary disruption during the works, the improvements are expected to enhance road quality and driving conditions once completed.

Further details, including confirmed commencement dates and any traffic management arrangements, are expected once the contractor’s schedule has been finalised.
