Ballynahinch Bypass Project Given Go-Ahead Subject To Funding
Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard has given the go-ahead for the A24 Ballynahinch Bypass scheme, but only when the money is available.
Alliance Strangford MLA Kellie Armstrong said the scheme joins the York Street Interchange and Downpatrick Distributor Bypass on a growing list of projects where Minister Hazzard is keen for positive headlines that promise but do not deliver.
She said: "Yet again we have a much needed scheme being progressed and approved, only to be put on the long finger.
"The Ballynahinch Bypass is much needed and the motorists using it every day are feeling increasingly frustrated at the delay in getting started on the ground. We need the Minister to announce start dates, not make excuses."
