Stewart Dickson MLA said: “The public have been waiting decades for this scheme to commence, and the vesting of these properties is the beginning of this process.
“Many people who travel regularly on the A2 know the traffic chaos that occurs on a daily basis so the sooner this upgrade begins the better.
“When this upgrade is completed there will be better transport links that should bring economic benefits to businesses in the area and help attract new investment.”
