D1201 : The Ballymena bypass - July 2014(4)
taken 10 years ago, near to Ballymena, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland
The Ballymena bypass - July 2014(4)
The completed road, looking towards Ballymoney and Coleraine, from the northern side of the roundabout. For comparison “then and now” see D1201 : M2, Ballymena - the missing link (June 2006).
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.
