A5 WTC (New Road from Aughnacloy to Derry)

[LeoMc]

That's nearly 1300 reasons why some people don't want a new road as it'll affect their lives, temporarily, as once it's done everyone adapts and moves on.

When the Carrickfegus to Belfast road was done it inconvenienced plenty and houses demolished and no right or left turns for residents that had that opportunity originally. It's now a dual carriage way to motorway as is the Larne rd.

The new road would be off line, sometimes several miles from the current route. Building it will not inconvenience those living along the current route.

Of course there will be inconveniences when building. That's not an excuse to do nothing. Try and minimise it and get on with it.

Talk of it starting next year. I assume bypasses/dangerous sections to begin with?

No, the full Sion Mills to Derry section will start first.

The new road is off line, it does not follow the path of the existing road.

Trying to work out how it bypasses Sion?  Along the river at strabane crossing the urney Rd at some point? Is it a new road between the glebe and sion then?

That's a pretty useful interactive map of the route.

The new Derry  to Portadown railway  line will be opened the same day.

But  the bridge to Scotland  won't be finished  until  the week after.

People in the North on social welfare who spend their holidays in the Med will have personal hovercrafts  paid by taxpayer funds anyway in a few years so it won't even be needed .

Will people be able to get  these   Instead of a  DLA car?

Will the melting ice caps and global warming/climate change, hovercrafts might not be that far fetched
