MARCH 2023: Ulster Way Lagan Towpath closed in Belfast
An approximately 900m stretch of this LDP has been closed between River Terrace and Albert Bridge, Belfast, due to flood defence work along the west side of the River Lagan. A diversion between Ormeau Bridge (A24) and Albert Bridge (A20) is in place on the other side of the river; the cycle route makes use of Ormeau Embankment and Ravenhill Road. The full cyclists' and walkers' riverside route is expected to be closed until August 2023.
