IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Whinfield Lane, CARRICKFERGUS, BT38 8TU

The off-line section of the new Jordanstown – Greenisland dual carriageway. This part seems to be ready to use but won’t be open to traffic until the connection to the existing dual carriageway, on the Trooperslane side, is complete. The flyover carries Whinfield Lane. The view is from Knockagh Monument.

Bridge carrying Whitehead Lane over the A2 near Greenisland.

Where it loops round to leave a section of the original Shore Road as a peaceful backwater. The bridge in the background carries Whinfield Lane over the dual carriageway.

The view from Knockagh war memorial Image towards the Shore Road, Greenisland. The proposed dual carriageway is due to run off-line from the Station Road to Seapark. My understanding, from the small scale map available, is that it will occupy the area on this side of the houses (top) passing through the warehouses Image (upper middle).

The view from Knockagh war memorial Image towards the Shore Road, Greenisland. The proposed dual carriageway is due to run off-line from the Station Road to Seapark. My understanding, from the small scale map available, is that the road will pass towards the middle/bottom right and cross Whinfield Lane (the houses on the left) without affecting them. The map shows the north western end of Whinfield Lane crossing the dual carriageway by a bridge although whether it is a footbridge or a road bridge is not clear. The new road will then curve back towards the Shore Road at Seapark.

Flush bracket bench mark located on the front wall of a house close to the A2 Belfast Road. The house now appears to be part of a car sales business. The number on the bracket is OSBM 3392. The mark has been levelled to 7.40 metres above MSL. A flush bracket is a type of bench mark set onto the face of a building. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=11037856 for many other examples I have found.

Post-mounted EIIR letter box (BT38 668), on the Shore Road, between Greenisland and Seapark. Note added 29 December 2013: now removed to facilitate the building of the new dual carriageway.

The A2 Shore Road (Belfast Road on Google) about 1 mile south-west of Carrickfergus.

The original A2; the suburb has now been by-passed to the North.

See Image The existing four-lane section of road looking towards Carrickfergus. The dual carriageway should emerge on the lower left. The red building in the background is the old Courtaulds factory.
