Work on a £350,000 widening scheme for the Comber Greenway is scheduled to commence on 18 January 2018.
The scheme will widen the existing Greenway between Holywood Arches and East Link Road, enhancing the experience for walkers and cyclists on this popular route.
The Department has carefully programmed the work to take place in phases with the first section stretching from Holywood Arches to Sandown Road.
For health and safety reasons each section will need to be closed to the public while the work takes place. However, diversionary routes have been identified and will be signposted in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public.
The first phase should be finished by mid-February with the full scheme expected to be completed by the end of March 2018.
The planned dates for the scheme are subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
