A new motorway underpass at Broadway in Belfast has opened to traffic.

It is part of the multi-million M1/Westlink upgrade and opens one year ahead of schedule.

The underpass is expected to improve journey times for thousands of commuters, as well as between the M1, M2 and M3 motorways.

From Friday, two lanes will operate in each direction through the underpass, but this will increase to three when work is completed.

"The transfer of traffic to the Broadway underpass is the most significant milestone to date in the £104m upgrade of the M1/Westlink," said Roads Minister Conor Murphy.

"With two thirds of the traffic now using the underpass this will improve access across Broadway for pedestrians and will provide the opportunity to improve access to and from the Royal Group of Hospitals."
