The A26 (former B12) at Aghadavy
The original number of the road due south of Glenavy in County Antrim was the B12. This road started on the A26 in the village centre and headed south as far as Moira, where it ended on the A3.
Following the construction of the M1, the A26, which had originally run direct from Glenavy to Lurgan, swapped numbers with the B12 to give that road better access to the motorway. The former southern end, through Moira, was later bypassed and so most has become part of the B105; there have been other improvements to raise the road to Class I status.
