HC Deb 20 June 1973 vol 858 c160W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether there are any plans to improve the road from Ballylesson to Lisburn via Ballyaughlis and Hillhall; what these plans are; and when it is expected that they will be implemented.

Mr. David Howell

There are no plans for major improvements to the existing road, but it is proposed to construct a new road in two stages, starting from the newly-opened Belvoir to Purdysburn dual carriageway. Work on the section from Purdysburn to link into the short length of improved existing road at Ballyaughlis is expected to begin in June 1975, and on the remaining section to the Saint-field Road roundabout at Lisburn in October 1975.
