Logistics UK welcomes announcement on A1 improvement scheme

Logistics UK welcomes the announcement made this week by Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon approving the A1 improvement scheme. Logistics UK’s Northern Ireland Policy Manager, Seamus Leheny, comments:
 
“Logistics UK has long supported the need to upgrade the A1, a major route in Northern Ireland connecting Belfast and Dublin. In March 2020 Logistics UK submitted a response to the Department for Infrastructure’s call for evidence, supporting this upgrade and highlighting the road safety and economic benefits it will deliver. We are thrilled this has been taken into consideration; the safety of road users is imperative and the current outdated infrastructure of the A1 does not reflect this.”
