Temporary traffic restriction on Belmont Street at Union Street

Traffic will not be able to enter or leave the Union Street end of Belmont Street from next Tuesday (23 Sept 2025) to allow for reconstruction as part of the upgrade works to Union Street Central.

The temporary restriction is from Tuesday 23 September 2025 until Sunday 22 March 2026 and there will be no entry from Union Street onto Belmont Street, and no exit from Belmont Street onto Union Street.

Access to properties will be maintained however no through-traffic will be possible during this time. An alternative route for vehicles is available via Union Terrace, Rosemount Viaduct, Schoolhill, Back Wynd and Little Belmont Street and Gaelic Lane.

The diversion route includes:

• At the end of Little Belmont Street and Gaelic Lane, all vehicles must turn right onto Belmont Street. A left turn will not be permitted
• All other vehicles must then exit Belmont Street and via Schoolhill

To facilitate this diversion, Little Belmont Street will be temporarily reopened to through-traffic and planters and stone roadblocks on Little Belmont Street will be removed. They will be reinstated once the diversion is no longer required.
