Work to upgrade the sewage system at Beaumont is underway following a two-week delay.
The roadworks had been scheduled to take place 5 -26 November, but they were postponed in the aftermath of Storm Ciaran.
Work has started today (20 November) and is now expected to continue to 10 December.
The road will be closed northbound between the filter-in-turn and Beaumont canon between 9am and 4pm Monday to Friday and 9am and 6pm on Sundays.
The upgrades will increase the capacity of the systems, meaning new homes can connect to it in the future.
It will also reduce the pressure on the Beaumont Pumping Station and the liquid waste network at Bellozanne. The area has long been liable to flooding.
Trial holes will be created to confirm the position and depth of the existing network and underground services. The results will help to inform the design of a scheme, which will help to remove surface water (runoff from roads and roofs) from the foul drainage network
