The Department in accordance with Article 14(1) of that Order considers it expedient for the purpose of improving the trunk system that—

the road described in Part I of the Schedule and the roads proposed to be constructed as described in Part II of the Schedule should be designated as trunk roads; and

(b)

the length of the Belfast-Coleraine-Londonderry Trunk Road T7 described in Part III of the Schedule should become part of the Ballymena-Kilwaughter Trunk Road T19.

The Department in accordance with Article 68(4) of that Order proposes on completion of works providing alternative facilities for road traffic to—

(a)

stop-up the roads described in Part IV of the Schedule; and

(b)

stop-up the road described in Part V of the Schedule to vehicular traffic.

The Department has published, served and displayed a notice in compliance with paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of Schedule 8 to that Order.
