During this time traffic flow will be maintained with the use of 3-way stop/go boards around the junction, however delays should be expected.

NI Water said w hen complete, this investment will "significantly reduce the risk of out of sewer flooding in this area of Belfast during periods of heavy rainfall".

Environmental pollution will also be reduced, and the water quality in the Blackstaff Culvert and River Lagan will be enhanced.
