The M1 reached Dungannon at the end of 1967. Provision was made for a bypass of the town by building about a mile of dual carriageway as part of the motorway contract. The road remained unused until 1980 when an all-purpose bypass (mainly single carriageway) was finally opened. This view is towards Ballygawley from the eastern side of Stangmore roundabout. The section from the end of the bypass dual carriageway to Ballygawley was eventually rebuilt as a limited-access dual carriageway Image, opening at the end of 2010. Note: the Google map uses blue to show bypass and the road to Ballygawley ie as a motorway. It is really the A4. See also Image
