J1953 : Central reservation gaps, Dromore bypass
taken 11 years ago, near to Dromore, Co Down, Northern Ireland
Central reservation gaps, Dromore bypass
Central reservation gaps, on the Dromore bypass, looking towards Sprucefield and Belfast. The two nearest the camera serve Maypole Hill J2053 : Up the Maypole Hill. The third allows traffic from the Connellystown Road (from which the red car has come) to turn right towards Banbridge and Newry. The view is from this flyover J1953 : Flyover, Dromore bypass which has a plate reading “1972”.
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.
