The section of M1 between Broadway (then known as (Celtic Park) and Lisburn opened in July 1962 (almost three years after the M1 between Watford and Rugby). It carries some 56,000 vehicles daily and is heavily congested during the morning peak which can last from about 7.45 to 9.30am. It was not quite so busy on this foggy Sunday afternoon. The view (from the Dunmurry Lane bridge) is towards Lisburn and Dungannon. Image shows a sunny high-summer view in July 2013.
