Gallery:Rathcoole Interchange
The LILO accesses are not numbered on the widened scheme, only full access junctions receive a number which makes some sense to me. This is just north of Rathcoole Village, which is to the left of the bypassing road. The overbridge here was not built as part of the latest widenning but the road underneath was D2 up until this scheme made it D3.
