carriageway

On Monday a High Court judge ruled the construction of the new dual carriageway project should not go ahead in its current form, because the plans do not legally comply with Stormont's climate change targets.

However, the following month a group of residents and landowners began judicial review proceedings against the dual carriageway.

Work to turn the road into a full dual carriageway began when Tony Blair was prime minister in 2002.

The upgraded carriageway is not dualled but does include more places to overtake safely.

"People were finding their way around by torchlight. It was quite surreal seeing the view from my window totally black especially as I live next to a dual carriageway," he said.
