Study To Be Carried Out To Review The Preferred Corridor

A study to review the Preferred Corridor for the A28 Armagh East Link proposal is to be carried out.

The Preferred Route runs from the A3 Portadown Road to the A28 Markethilll Road, forming a junction with the A51 Hamiltonsbawn Road.


Transport Minister Danny Kennedy said: "I believe that this review of the Preferred Option is a necessary step in the development of this Strategic Road Improvement.

"The next significant step in the scheme development process will be to undertake the detailed design for the proposal, however, I am very mindful of the concerns of the local community and of the need to ensure the proposed Armagh East Link will offer the best possible solution for Armagh City."
