The elevated section of the Northway (known as the Shillington Bridge – see J0154 : Shillington Bridge plaque, Portadown) approaching Castle Street (foreground) after crossing the River Bann (behind the silver car towards the lower right). The construction of this road required the demolition of the former Ulster Railway station J0154 : Old Railway Station Portadown in Watson Street.
The Northway, Portadown

The Northway is a through-pass connecting the M12 J0358 : The M1/M12 near Portadown to the roads to Newry and Armagh.
It was built, in part, on the bed of the GNR(I) Portadown/Armagh/Monaghan/Clones/Cavan line - closed in stages between 1957 and 1960 (although a stub remained in Portadown, as a siding to the Metal Box factory on the Brownstown Road until 1965. The level crossing hut remained for another few years).
