NI Water will close Pond Park Road East from July 1, 2026, for up to six weeks to replace 660m of deteriorated watermain. The upgrade will involve laying a larger diameter pipe alongside the existing one, which will remain operational during construction.
Traffic management plans include suspending bus stops in the area and establishing a diversion route via Glenavy Road and Sheepwalk Road. Coordination with NIE for concurrent electricity network upgrades aims to minimize disruption.
The project is a high priority for NI Water, with efforts to expedite completion, including extended working hours. The enhanced infrastructure will improve water supply stability, particularly during peak demand and emergencies.
