Planned Developments
The Department for Regional Development plans a series of future road schemes for the A4:
- The route from Dungannon to Ballygawley (approximately 121⁄2 miles; 20 km) was upgraded to a dual carriageway standard, with the new road opened in November 2010. The scheme includes a central reservation safety barrier, a hard shoulder and six grade separated junctions. The estimated cost of the scheme as reported in 2006 was £102 million.
- A section of the route between Ballygawley and Augher will be realigned. Clearance work in preparation for the realignment occurred in November and December 2007, with construction believed to commence in 2008.
- Other schemes prospectively planned include by-passes of Fivemiletown and the southern end of Enniskillen, and the installation of "2+1" route between Ballygawley and Enniskillen.

Famous quotes containing the words planned and/or developments:
“Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
