Street works in Northern Ireland come under the Street Works (Northern Ireland) Order 1995, with DfI Roads as the road authority. Notice periods depend on the category of works.
In and around Belfast, the A2, A12 and A24 carry most of the through traffic. The M1, M2 and M3 are within a few miles. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
With around 345,000 people living in the city, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
