The new £55 million A26 Frosses dual-carriageway from Glarryford cross roads to the Drones Road turn off was officially opened this morning.
However as there is no Infrastructure Minister in place at Stormont the opening task was performed by the department's Divisional Roads Manager, Deirdre Mackle .
