Police Issue Traffic Advice for Irish Cup Semi-Final at Windsor Park
Police in Northern Ireland have released traffic guidance for road users before the Clearer Water Irish Cup semi-final between Cliftonville and Dungannon. The game takes place at the National Stadium in Windsor Park with a 7.45pm kick-off on Friday, April 3.
Disruption starts from 6.30pm in areas including Falls Road, Broadway, Glenmachan Street, Boucher Road and Windsor Way. Traffic build-up is expected in Shaftesbury Square, Lisburn Road and Donegall Road in south Belfast, plus the M1 and Boucher Road before and after the match.
Boucher Road sees regular activity from shoppers and commuters. Authorities advise planning journeys ahead and allowing extra time due to likely congestion.
Drivers heading to the stadium should park thoughtfully to avoid blocking local residents and businesses. Supporters must walk respectfully through nearby residential streets.
Zones around the National Stadium ban street drinking under Belfast City Council rules. Attendees should follow these at all times.
Police urge all match-goers to act responsibly and consider the local community.
