The Department for Regional Development(1) in accordance with Article 15(1) of the Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993(2) proposes to construct the road described in Part I of the Schedule and considers it expedient to designate it as a special road.
The Department in accordance with Article 14(1) of that Order considers it expedient for the purpose of improving the trunk system that–

(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.
One objection was received and not withdrawn and the Department considered the objection.
The Department having caused a local inquiry to be held into the objection to the proposed Order and having considered the report of the person who held the inquiry, now proposes to make the Order without modification.
The Department makes the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 14(1), 15(1), 16(1) and (2) and 68(1) and (3) of the Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993 and now exercisable by it(3):
