There have been many changes, over the years, to the roads at Ballyrobin, Killead, arising from The Troubles, the closure of many minor roads around the airport Image, the growth of road traffic, the expansion of Belfast International and the existence of RAF. (now Joint Helicopter Command Flying Station), Aldergrove). The Tully Road, seen here from the corner of the Carmavy Road Image, forms part of the road from Moira Image to Ballyrobin roundabout Image, the airport, Larne harbour, Coleraine, the north coast and Londonderry. It opened, in 1994, on a completely new alignment bypassing Killead (to the east/north east) and some local minor roads. To appreciate the difference compare today’s OS map with the old one-inch sheet 6. Drennan’s Road Image, one of the minor roads bypassed, is marked by the emerging black car to the left of the mail van.
