She officially re-opened the road along with Minister for Regional Development Danny Kennedy MLA recently.
Cllr Sharon Haughey said, "Work has been ongoing for sometime now at Edenaveys and local drivers will be delighted with the results which I hope will improve safety, traffic flow and reduce travel time for many.
"Those drivers who use the road regularly will know that it can be very frustrating to get caught behind a slow moving lorry or tractor. The new over-taking lane will mean drivers will be able to travel smarter and safer and that can only be good news.
"This is a good news story about road improvements and I hope local drivers will see the benefits."
