The Sydenham bypass was conceived in 1938 and opened in 1959. At the time the land to the south consisted of tightly-packed terrace houses and, to the north, the Harland & Wolff shipyard was close to the peak of its employment. Dee Street gave access from the former to the latter. Much has changed and Dee Street is now a shortcut to the Sydenham bypass avoiding the three-way junction at the bottom of the Newtownards Road. The view is towards the city centre. There are plans to add a third lane, in each direction, which might include the replacement of this bridge. See also J3674 : The Dee Street flyover, Belfast (2).
