Ballymena Bridges
We may be known for our roundabouts, but there are plenty of bridges too!
The Ballymena Bypass is essentially part of the A26 route that connects Coleraine south towards Belfast, bypassing Ballymoney and Ballymena on the way. It is the only part of the route that has motorway restrictions, and is hence the highest standard of road on the whole A26 route.
The reason it carries the number "M2" is that it was originally supposed to be part of the M2 motorway. The original plan to use the M2 number for a motorway extending from Belfast to Coleraine has now been abandoned, but the number remains as an historical anomaly.
The Ballymena Bypass is also the only motorway in Northern Ireland that has no connections of any kind to any other motorway.
