Planned Developments
The Roads Service of Northern Ireland has planned to provide four further grade separated junctions. These schemes are located at:
- Listullycurran Road, between Dromore and Hillsborough
- Gowdystown Road, south of Dromore
- Skeltons Road, between Dromore and Banbridge
- Waringsford Road, north of Banbridge.
Further measures envisaged to improve safety include a central reservation safety barrier be to constructed from the A1's junction with the M1 at Sprucefield to Loughbrickland. This will involve the closing of many of the dual carriageway's central cross-over points.
The Road Service also plan to improve the link between the M1 and A1 at Sprucefield in a scheme that would include a flyover at Hillsborough, the last remaining roundabout on the route between Dublin and Belfast.

Famous quotes containing the words planned and/or developments:
“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
