Included here is an artist's impression of how this road development will look shortly. Already I can imagine the Southern shoppers, impatient with the delays, overshooting to the 5Ways - and beyond, to the Mourne Country Hotel roundabout - and choking the town's traffic from all sides!
 It is clear that town-bound traffic from the South exits early and to the sliproad on the left to go under the new Cloughogue Bridge while South-bound traffic has its own sliproad to Newry via the existing railway bridge.
I don't think the artist has accurately drawn the new road at that rock buttress in the middle distance! Surely the leftmost of the two dual-carriageways rises and separates at that point?
Still, roll on the great day when we see some little traffic relief on our Southern side!
