Western Belfast Bypass

In addition, the motorway will allow for improved public transport, cycling, and pedestrian options on Main North Road.[1] The motorway links directly from the Christchurch Northern Motorway, at Chaneys interchange, to Johns Road at the Clearwater roundabout, bypassing the current section of State Highway One through the Belfast urban area.[2] It forms part of the Christchurch Western Corridor, which is one of the Roads of National Significance projects previously announced by the Government in 2009.The existing section of SH1 along Johns Road from The Groynes to Sawyers Arms Road is being upgraded to a four lane median divided highway, with restricted access intersections, as part of the Christchurch Western Corridor programme.Construction began on May 8, 2015 with the first sod turned by Minister of Transport Simon Bridges, and was opened in stages in November 2017.
