See Image (June 2006). An earlier view, looking towards the Lodge Road roundabout (far distance) on a quiet Sunday morning. The widely-separated carriageways always looked a bit unusual. They might have been intended to accommodate a future flyover – something now suggested in the Northern Area Plan 2016 Coleraine Borough: Coleraine Transportation: “Lodge Road Roundabout, located where the A26 and A29 converge at the key junction on the network. The junction is anticipated to see a significant increase in the already high flows and, should this occur, will require a significant intervention towards the end of the Plan period to maintain efficient operation. Analysis has shown that grade separation of the traffic moving through the junction on the A29 axis would provide significant benefits in terms of improving capacity and maintaining turning provision”.
