As part of the Belfast Rapid Transit. BRT. programme, Transport NI propose to introduce bus lanes along the Upper Newtownards Road. between Knock Road and Dunlady Road. to link the wider east Belfast area to the city centre providing better connectivity and reducing car use to and from the city centre. To facilitate this proposal, a range of measures will need to be implemented such as amending carriageway and footpath widths to accommodate bus lanes, diversion of existing underground/surface services, relocation of existing street furniture, accommodation works, provision of statutory signage and road markings.
