During a visit to the site on Thursday, Traffic Minister Minister Danny Kennedy said: “This is a significant investment in the transport infrastructure of the Ballymena and mid-Antrim area. This scheme will go a long way to improving safety and increase the capacity of the junction to deal with traffic travelling around the south west of Ballymena.”

A statement from the Department of Regional Development added: “In order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, the works will be carefully programmed. However road closures will be necessary and motorists should allow extra time for their journey if planning to use this junction.”
