The M2 hill section, near Greencastle, Newtownabbey
The hill section of the M2, between Greencastle and Sandyknowes, seen from the grounds of the Belfast Castle estate. The inward/southbound off slip is near the middle (above the blue lorry). The M5 J3580 : The M5 near Rushpark, Whiteabbey runs across the top of the photograph.
The M2 at Greencastle, Belfast

The Greencastle – Sandyknowes (hill) section of the M2 (later incorporating the M5) opened in 1966 and served as a temporary terminus until the opening of the foreshore section, from York Street, in 1973. The junction allows inward and outward traffic to join and leave the M2 but omits a junction between the inward M5 and the outward M2 and the inward M2 and outward M5.
