J2560 : The Carnbane Road, Hillsborough

taken 13 years ago, near to Culcavy, Co Down, Northern Ireland

The Carnbane Road, Hillsborough
The Carnbane Road, Hillsborough
A minor road, running from Ravarnet to the Belfast – Dublin road (background), north of Hillsborough. The gap in the central reservation allows right and “U” turns.
Central reservation gaps, Sprucefield - Loughbrickland


The Sprucefield – Loughbrickland section of the Belfast – Newry/Dublin road was built, in the 1970’s, as an all-purpose dual carriageway allowing right and “U” turns. The high number of minor side roads in Co Down and various private accesses means that there are frequent gaps in the central reservation. The road has been improved with flyovers and underpasses but numerous gaps remain. There are long-term plans to close some and build more grade-separated junctions.
