Drivers on the Queen's Road and Sydenham Roads have experienced long delays

A relief road due to be opened in Belfast's Titanic Quarter will not open until at least Wednesday.

The link between Queen's and Sydenham roads, follows the introduction of a new bus lane in the Titanic Quarter.

Motorists have complained of "horrendous" tailbacks in the area since the new road layout was introduced on 6 August.

Last week, Belfast Harbour said the "interim relief road" would help alleviate travel disruption.

They said they were "acutely aware of the significant disruption" during peak evening traffic.

On Monday afternoon, motorists were advised to leave work at their usual time.

The Department for Infrastructure said it wanted to analyse the flow of traffic but reports that the relief road was open were incorrect.

Belfast Harbour Police said they would be on site daily to assist motorists.
