Infrastructure Minister, Liz Kimmins, has announced the early reopening of the A45 Ballynakilly Road, Coalisland following the successful completion of the replacement of the Creenagh Bridge and carriageway realignment scheme.
More details: infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/new…

ALT Before and after photos of the scheme and the words, £1.9million Creenagh Bridge replacement and carriageway works completed, “This substantial investment also includes the construction of an Active Travel footway for 270metres over the scheme linking to the Ballynakilly Road, which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users who travel through this area.”

Two years ago, an SNP government propped up by the Green Party changed Scotland's interim emissions targets to restart major roadbuilding.
There's even less political reason for Stormont not to do the same.

irishnews.com/news/northern-… To explain the judge's statement, DFI's original case was that they could approve the road even without a finished Climate Action Plan or clear proof it fits emissions targets. 1/3

DFI and DAERA (which is the lead department for climate change) have appealed the case. Their case in the appeal seems to introduce new evidence and arguments about the draft Climate Action Plan and claimed the judge misinterpreted their earlier climate analysis. 2/3

The judge is upset because he believes DFI and DAERA are arguing that he misinterpreted their previous evidence, yet (he says) the arguments they're presenting now are not the ones he ruled on. So he has accused them of trying to "gaslight" him. There is no final ruling yet. 3/3

FYI I blogged about what this consultation means a month ago: wesleyjohnston.wordpress.com…
What are your thoughts on speed limits?
Our Speed Limit Review Consultation is aimed at improving road safety.
Evidence shows that excessive speed remains one of the most significant factors in the severity of collisions and fatalities on our roads.
Your opinion matters - tell us your views in our consultation which is open until Wednesday 22 April 2026.

The Foyle bridge spans the River Foyle at 234m whilst its entire length is 866m with a height of 38m above the water. It opened in 1984 at a cost of 15.76m to relieve traffic within the city using the Craigavon Bridge.
