A57 Ballyclare Rd Closure

Motorists travelling through Templepatrick are advised to plan their journeys carefully as the A0057 Ballyclare Road is set to be closed overnight for essential maintenance work. The road, located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, will be shut from 12:45 on 14 August 2026, with a diversion in place to guide drivers around the affected area.

The closure, which is expected to cause some delays, is necessary for a DBFO1 Major Maintenance - Resurfacing project being carried out by the Department for Infrastructure. As a result, drivers will be required to follow a longer route, which will take them along the A0057 Templepatrick Road, B0059 Station Road, B0095 The Burn Road, B0095 Main Street, B0095 Parkgate Road, C0028 Loughanmore Road, and finally C0028 Paradise Walk.

Motorists are urged to check traffic apps and plan their journeys in advance to avoid any unnecessary delays. Road Closures UK advises drivers to use the provided diversion route to get around the closure, as the road will be closed overnight to allow for the maintenance work to take place. This is the second major maintenance project on the A0057 Ballyclare Road in recent months, with the Department for Infrastructure working to improve the condition and safety of the road.

While the closure is expected to cause some disruption, the Department for Infrastructure has said that the work is necessary to ensure the road remains safe and well-maintained for drivers. The diversion route is expected to be in place for several nights, with traffic management measures in place to direct drivers around the affected area.

Motorists are reminded to follow all traffic signs and instructions from traffic management teams, as well as to check for updates on traffic and road conditions before setting out on their journey. The Department for Infrastructure has said that it will do its best to keep disruption to a minimum, but advises drivers to plan their journeys carefully to avoid any unnecessary delays.
