Translink: Try public transport to avoid traffic, says O’Dowd

The timetable for the removal of the bridge has not been made public but the road on which it is situated, Durham Street, is now closed.

The chief executive of Translink, Chris Conway, indicated the removal would be soon.

He told BBC News NI: “Preparation work is going on at the minute for the Boyne Bridge. We’ve closed Durham Street and we’ll be mobilising the construction teams over the next days and weeks to come, and the dismantling of the Boyne Bridge will come shortly after that.”

He added: “A key part of the dismantling will be under way by Christmas.”

The Ulster Architectural Heritage Society failed in a last-minute legal attempt to stop any work taking place on the bridge.

However, the society has indicated it is not giving up.

The bridge overlooks the new Grand Central Station, which is now fully operational after Sunday’s start to train services.

Buses started running five weeks ago from the £340m station.

A new train timetable is now in use and passengers have been urged to check it ahead of any journey.

All trains to Dublin from Belfast now start at Grand Central rather than Lanyon Place station.

From the end of October, 15 trains a day will start running each way between Belfast and Dublin on weekdays.
