Notice of Publication of Environmental Statement by the Department for Regional Development Under Article 67A(3) of the Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993

The Department for Regional Development hereby gives notice in accordance with Article 67A(3) and (9) of the Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993 that it has prepared an Environmental Statement on the effects of the proposed Henry Street Road Widening and Cycleway Provision Scheme.

The general effect of the scheme will be to improve 165 metres of the A4 Henry Street between Wellington Road and Sligo Road. The proposed scheme consists of upgrading the existing two lane carriageway to a three lane system, with two lanes approaching the junction of Henry Street and Wellington Road. The scheme will also include ancillary works including the provision of a parking lay-by on the western side of Henry Street and a shared footway/cycleway provision on the eastern side. Other ancillary works include structural works in the form of a reinforced concrete retaining wall and steel footbridge, as well as drainage, accommodation works and environmental mitigation works.

The aim of the project is to improve conditions for road users by reducing congestion for vehicular travellers and improving safety and conditions for cyclists.
