NI Water Road Works Update

NI Water will commence work next week to install a new stormwater sewer on a section of Shore Road, Abbeyville Street and Abbeyville Place, Whiteabbey.

This essential work, which will remove storm (rain) water from this part of the combined wastewater system to reduce the risk of out-of-sewer flooding in the area will take around 12 weeks to complete overall.

NI Water is working to identify areas where the existing combined sewer network can be separated through the provision of a dedicated storm (rain) water system. The work in the Abbeyville area of Whiteabbey will reduce the pressure on the local wastewater network and help provide some additional capacity in the short-term.

Work will get underway on Shore Road (adjacent to St. James’ Church) during the week commencing Monday 24th March. To carry out the work on Shore Road as safely as possible, traffic management will be in place between Shore Road Station Roundabout and Dillons Avenue. Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times but commuters may need to allow extra times for their journeys especially during peak times.
