Titanic Showdown and Titanic Slipways traffic and relevant information

Cyclone Promotions is delighted to be working with other promoters in Belfast to ensure traffic management plans are in place this weekend. Cyclone Promotions’ CEO Barry McGuigan explains:

“The event organisers for the Titanic Showdown have worked with the relevant authorities to plan and deliver a comprehensive traffic management plan which takes into consideration the Belfast Tattoo event taking place in the Odyssey Arena. While major events involving thousands of people will inevitably increase traffic levels, systems are in place to ensure these are managed appropriately.

“On September 6, The Slipways at Titanic Belfast and Titanic Quarter will host the world championship boxing clash between Belfast’s Carl Frampton and Spain’s Kiko Martinez. We would encourage all visitors to allow sufficient time for their journey, whether travelling by car, bus or train. To ensure a pleasant journey, please check traffic and travel websites such as www.bbc.co.uk/travel/northernireland and www.translink.co.uk before departure. ”
