Tom McCourt Kevin Monaghan Divisional Roads Manager Deputy Divisional Roads Manager

Members of Council I am pleased to present to you this report, which highlights the work Roads Service has completed in the Belfast City Council area last year, and the programme of works that we are undertaking to complete in this financial year.

The high volume and quality of the work presented demonstrates the continuing commitment of Roads Service to improving transport within Belfast.

The progress to date should be self-explanatory and I will be pleased to receive any comments.

9 2.1 M1/ WESTLINK IMPROVEMENTS

The M1/Westlink is a key part of the Strategic Road Network, which forms part of the Trans-European Road Network and the Eastern Seaboard Corridor. It also provides access to the largest commercial area in Northern Ireland, as well as the major commercial and passenger Port of Belfast and Belfast City Airport.

The M1/Westlink improvements have an estimated capital value of £104m and include:-

 Widening the M1 and Westlink to provide a continuous dual three lane carriageway from Stockman’s Lane to Divis Street;  Constructing vehicular underpasses at Broadway and Grosvenor Road;  Replacing the bridges at Stockman’s Lane junction and improving the roundabout;  Closing Roden Street / Mulhouse Road signalised junction;  Introducing bus priority measures between Broadway and Roden Street; and  Providing a shared cycleway / footway between Broadway and Grosvenor Road.

The M1/Westlink improvements have been funded by the private sector using a Design, Build, Finance and Operate (DBFO) form of contract. This is the first privately financed road project in Northern Ireland. The contract includes the maintenance of 60 km of motorway and trunk roads for 30 years. The contract was awarded in February 2006 to Highway Management (NI), which comprises of local contractors John Graham (Dromore) Limited and Northstone (NI) Ltd (formerly Farrans Ltd) and the major German multi-services group Bilfinger Berger.

The Grosvenor Road Junction with Westlink was completed in March 2008 and the new roundabout at Stockman’s Lane junction was completed two months later. In July 2008, Broadway Underpass was opened to traffic for the first time, some 13 months ahead of the original programme.

The overall M1/Westlink Scheme was substantially completed and officially opened on 4 March 2009, some 6 months ahead of programme. At the height of construction over 450 people were employed on the M1/Westlink and M2 improvements schemes and to date, over two million man hours have been worked on the construction of these schemes. Construction of two new underpasses at Broadway and Grosvenor Road junctions will ensure shorter and more reliable journey times, which will benefit all road users, including public transport, the haulage industry, as well as private car users.

Broadway Underpass

10 2.2 M2 IMPROVEMENTS

This DBFO package of works also includes the widening of the M2 to provide 3 lanes in each direction between Sandyknowes and Greencastle junctions. The M2 improvements have an estimated capital value of £19m and include:-

 widening the Belfast-bound carriageway of the M2 to provide a third lane between Sandyknowes and Greencastle junctions,  widening the country-bound carriageway of the M2 to provide three lanes through the Greencastle junction and  replacing the Hightown, Collinbridge and Longlands overbridges.

On 3 September 2008 the new Hightown Bridge, which carries the Hightown Road over the M2 in Glengormley, was constructed and opened to traffic, 4 months ahead of schedule. Both the Collin and Longlands Bridges were completed 11 April this year. The overall M2 Improvements Scheme remains on target for completion in May 2009.

M2 Motorway

2.3 A2 SYDENHAM BYPASS IMPROVEMENT SCHEME

The A2 Sydenham Bypass is one of the most heavily used carriageways in the Belfast Metropolitan Area and forms a vital section of the strategic highway network, linking Bangor and Belfast. The road also provides access to the key gateways of George Best Belfast City Airport, Belfast Port and to several large residential areas. The proposed scheme will widen a 2.5km stretch of the existing A2 Sydenham Bypass from a dual 2-lane carriageway to a dual 3-lane carriageway. 11 Following the completion of the initial assessment process and the consultation event held during May 2008, the scheme design is being advanced to allow the preferred options report to be finalised in the Autumn.

Roads Service is aware of proposals for a new junction on the A2 Sydenham Bypass associated with Titanic Quarter and is providing advice to Planning Service to allow the best integration of both projects to be achieved. Roads Service will continue to consult with the key stakeholders including Belfast City Council and the East Belfast Partnership.

13 3.1 MAJOR WORKS

A55 Knock Road Widening

Work is continuing on the development of the A55 Knock Road Widening scheme. This includes progression of environmental impact assessments, scheme design, traffic modelling and evaluation of alternative suggestions.

This work will be used to prepare an Environmental Statement, notice of intention to make a Direction Order and notice of intention to make a Vesting Order. It is expected that this will be published for public comment in 2009.

Following receipt of any objections and comments to the published proposals, the Department may then decide to hold a public inquiry. It is only after receipt of the public inquiry inspector’s report that a final decision to proceed with the scheme or not, will be taken.

The commencement of construction will depend on the satisfactory completion of an economic assessment, completion of the statutory process and the availability of funding. The Investment Delivery Plan for Roads, which was published earlier this year, identified this scheme for delivery during the period 2013/14 to 2017/18.

14 3.2 MINOR WORKS

2008/09 Progress Report Scheme Status Finvoy Street – Environmental Improvement Scheme Completed

This environmental improvement scheme is designed to improve the aesthetics and use of the area. It included the demolition of a Roads Service owned property, No. 2 Finvoy Street, which was recently cited as structurally unsound. The site of the house was replaced with a secured planted area. Further to this, Roads Service entered agreement with the Walkway Community Centre to allow them access to a neighbouring area of derelict land to provide a garden area to serve the community group. Work started on 1st April2008andwascompletedinJuly2008. .

After Before Nelson St Safety Fence Replacement (West Footway). Completed

This section of fence is being replaced due to its height not conforming to specification. The replacement fence comprises 50m of N2 W2 Safety Barrier with 2No P1 Terminals. The scheme was completed in June 2008.

After Before

15 2009/10 Programme of Works Scheme Name Status Widening of A12 Westlink at York Street Programmed Provision of a 70m long left-turn only lane from Westlink into York Street, at the existing Westlink / York Street junction

3.3 ROUTE IMPROVEMENT STUDIES

The Division’s programme of assessing trunk roads and non-strategic rural routes will continue throughout 2009/2010. The prime objective of these assessments is to improve the safety and efficiency of these routes.

This assessment will include an analysis of:

Traffic flows, both current and projected; Accident history; Characteristics of the route in terms of accessibility, integration and economy; Environment; and The practicality of constructing the schemes and the cost and availability of funds.

In general route management studies will assess and identify road improvement opportunities along the route including the provision of safer overtaking opportunities, with short sections of climbing lanes or differential acceleration lanes where appropriate; provision of footways or cycle lanes; minor carriageway realignment; right turn provision and junction sightline improvement.

It is planned to carry out a route management study on A55 Outer Ring Road between Tillysburn Roundabout and M1 junction at Stockman’s Lane during this year.

No. 20232 Finaghy Road North Completed

Roads Service together with Northern Ireland Railways carried out important safety improvements to the bridge over the Belfast to Dublin railway line at Finaghy Road North, Belfast.

The work was necessary to reduce the risk of vehicles leaving the road and causing a collision with oncoming trains. To prevent this, the existing walls and fences along the bridge were replaced with new safety barriers and this required strengthening of the bridge itself.

The footway over the bridge has also been improved and a new pedestrian access to the railway halt has been provided as part of the works. A substantial planting scheme was carried out as part of the scheme. The work started in late June 2008 and was completed February 2009.

4.13 RESIDENTS’ PARKING

Our initial attempt to introduce the first five residents’ parking schemes in Belfast was met with considerable local opposition, particularly in relation to the proposed cost of a permit. This has led to a considerable delay while the concerns raised were considered and some changes made to how these schemes would operate. Consultations with the communities affected within Barrack Street, Brown’s Square, Donegall Pass, Sandy Row and The Markets areas have now restarted and, if the proposals are accepted, we would hope to be in a position to implement the first schemes in the 2010/11 financial year.

It is planned to commence public consultations in Lower Ormeau Road, University Road/Holylands, Lower Lisburn Road and Donegall Road areas in September 2009 and we would hope to be in a position to implement schemes in these areas also in the 2010/11 financial year.

Roads Service has also carried out initial surveys to establish the extent of the parking problems in Carrickhill, Rotterdam Street, Stranmillis, Lower Malone Road and Lisburn Road areas, which have confirmed that a residents' parking scheme could be developed to deal with the high level of non-residential parking that takes place throughout the day. The earliest that consultations could start on the details of these schemes is early 2010. Although this is dependent on progress of the schemes mentioned above and the availability of funding.

4.14 DECRIMINALISED PARKING ENFORCEMENT

Decriminalised Parking Enforcement was implemented on 30 October 2006. Compliance surveys indicated that a very significant reduction in the level of illegal parking was achieved during the first 18 months of the service. Further surveys have since been carried out in various towns and cities across Northern Ireland and also on arterial routes in the Belfast area. The results from these surveys are currently being collated and will be published in the forthcoming Roads Service Annual Report.
