Phoenix Natural Gas – Working In Saintfield From 13th July

Phoenix Natural Gas advise that they have been working to extend access to the natural gas network across East Down in recent months and will be commencing the final phase of bulk work in the area from the week commencing 13th July.

The works have been scheduled for this period when schools are closed and there is typically less traffic commuting on this route. Whilst this work is largely outside the main street and town centre (completed in 2019), there will be some disruption experienced and steps will be taken to minimise the impact.

With the exception of a short closure of Windmill Road at the beginning of the works, the remaining works are to be undertaken under lane closure with temporary traffic lights. The programme of works will operate near critical junctions at times and to ensure a steady flow of traffic these will be manned Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm and at busy times over the weekends by a specialist traffic management company.
