Route
The road begins in the town of Portrush, heading south for a few miles before becoming the ring road around Coleraine. The road includes a short section of dual carriageway between Lodge Road Roundabout and Greenmount as part part of the shared route with the A37 (north) where it runs west towards Limavady. At a roundabout built in 2005, just outside Macosquin, the A37 continues west while the A29 heads south towards Garvagh.
After Garvagh, the road goes through Swatragh, Maghera, Tobermore, Desertmartin and Moneymore. It then becomes Dual Carriageway as far as Cookstown, goes through Cookstown and onto Dungannon as single-carriageway the rest of its journey via Armagh, Keady, Newtownhamilton and Drumbilla, County Louth in the Republic of Ireland where it joins the R177.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
