The project will provide a link between the A1/N1 Belfast to Dublin corridor and the A2 Warrenpoint Road, bypassing Newry City Centre.

It is one of three projects being implemented by the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) within the Belfast Region City Deal, which has allocated £93.4 million to the project.

This update follows the announcement by the Department that a non-opening 50 metre span fixed bridge is the Department’s preferred option for crossing the Newry River and Newry Ship Canal.
