M2 and M22 Motorway - Northern Ireland (3142 words)
The Antrim Road was the site of the unbuilt junction 3 included in original plans but probably omitted for a combination of traffic flow and safety reasons (the south facing slips would have been dangerously steep).
The road bridge here along with the adjacent railway bridge were all built wide enough for the motorway to be widened to 3+3 lanes.
Roads Service are planning to construct flyovers directly connecting the M2 to the A12 Westlink in Belfast, and this is likely to take place relatively soon (ie before 2015).
