BBC News NI’s Chloe Gibson has been speaking to people on the streets of Aughnacloy, County Tyrone, which the A5 runs through just before it crosses the Irish border.
Aidan (pictured above), from Sixmilecross who lost his cousin on the A5, says the ruling “was a complete disgrace”.
“I don’t think much of the people that are trying to put it off, it’s just unreal,” he says.
“They should just reverse the decision and build this road now.”
Fred, from Aughnacloy, says he uses the A5 quite often and that the decision is only going to cost more money.
“The longer this goes on the more its going to cost, and people are going to have to pay more for it.”
He adds: “The road itself doesn’t seem to be adequate for the amount of traffic.
“I’d like to see it go ahead, we need to gather more support to get the job done.”
