See Image Of the four flyovers now under construction south of Sprucefield, Loughbrickland is perhaps the most interesting. It provides a grade-separated junction at the Newry end of the bypass Image The contract includes the construction of hard shoulders, something which the existing road lacks. In practice it will be almost a complete rebuild of a road opened in 1973. It is not clear from the official material but it seems likely that right turns into Loughbrickland from the Banbridge end will be prohibited by closing the gap in the central reservation. Traffic from that direction will, presumably, use the new flyover instead. This is a view of the temporary arrangements at the Newry end of the bypass. Continue to Image
