Northern Ireland’s Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced that a £600,000 pedestrian and cycling improvement scheme in Lagmore Avenue, Belfast is commencing today.

The scheme, which is part of the Belfast Cycling Network Delivery Plan, includes segregated cycle tracks along Lagmore Avenue between the junction of Stewartstown Road and Glenfearna Park.

Minister Kimmins said: 

“This scheme demonstrates my commitment to investing in active travel infrastructure by providing safer and attractive routes that enable people to choose walking, wheeling and cycling for shorter everyday journeys.

“Once completed this scheme will deliver improved active travel connections to local schools and amenities in the Lagmore area. Safety will also be improved with the provision of two toucan crossings at existing crossing points and the introduction of raised table humps at all minor road accesses to further assist pedestrian and wheeled users.”
