New road, Newtownards (4)
See <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1094760'>J4873 : New road, Newtownards (3)</a> and <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1295615'>J4973 : The view from Scrabo (4)</a>. The whole road is now open to traffic. The view shows the Portaferry Road roundabout (top), the Castlebawn roundabout (middle) which will provide access to the proposed shopping centre and (bottom) the Comber Road roundabout. For through traffic from Belfast to Portaferry the road is a great benefit. There are, however, reports that things are not quite so easy for peak traffic heading out towards Comber.
