New dual carriageway, Ballymena (9)
See D1201 : New dual carriageway, Ballymena (8). The off-slip from the M2. It is not likely to see any significant change but the new road will continue, south, at middle left. Continue to D1201 : New dual carriageway, Ballymena (10).
M2 Ballymena bypass, Larne Road roundabout

When the M2 Ballymena bypass opened in 1969 the intention was to connect it to the Belfast-Antrim section. In the event the plan was abandoned and a dual carriageway was (eventually) built instead over most of the route. That still left a gap at the southern end which remained for some 40 years. Work started in June 2009 on the missing link and was completed in August 2010.
