The Ballynahinch bypass will go ahead as soon as funding is allocated.
That's from Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard.
The project has been shovel-ready for months but requires £35 million pounds to convert blueprints to reality.
Speaking yesterday the minister said a period of consultation will begin with stakeholders.
He said it'll aim to minimise related impacts on landowners that will be affected by the scheme.
