Hillhall Road in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, is closed in both directions for emergency works, according to the Department for Infrastructure’s TrafficWatchNI service.

The official traffic notice, checked on Thursday evening, 22 October, lists updated diversion routes for drivers travelling towards Belfast and towards Lisburn.

Different diversions for each direction

For Belfast-bound traffic, the listed route runs from Hillhall Road through Mercer Street and Saintfield Road to Largymore Link.

For Lisburn-bound traffic, the route runs from Hillhall Road through Largymore Link, Saintfield Road roundabout, Saintfield Road and Mercer Street.

The directional distinction matters when planning a journey: the notice gives two routes rather than a single diversion to follow in reverse.

TrafficWatchNI attributes the closure to emergency works but does not provide a reopening time or further detail about the work in this notice.

Drivers should follow the diversion signs on the ground and check the linked official notice again before travelling, as emergency restrictions can change.
