See Image According to an official announcement “Construction of the scheme will start in early June 2009 and take about 10 months to complete. Traffic disruption will be negligible during most of the contract as the bulk of the works are being carried out offline through a greenfield site. Some traffic disruption can be expected in the latter stages of the contract when the new road is being connected to the Ballee Road East and to the M2 Ballymena Bypass.” The long-awaited road will join the Ballee Road East Image to the M2 Ballymena bypass Image by means of a grade-separated junction at the existing Larne Road roundabout. This is a series of photographs showing the site before the work starts (apologies for the light but the weather is outside my control!). This one is the view towards Antrim and Belfast from the southern side of the existing flyover. (The Google map – often ahead of reality - shows the road as already built.)
