... that the Irish N53 road from Dundalk to Castleblayney has a gap for 6 kilometres where it enters Northern Ireland? Source: "The N53 Castleblayney to Dundalk road slices through the southern tip of Co Armagh .... For the six kilometres that the N53 is inside Northern Ireland, it is known as Concession Road" [1]

Overall: @Ritchie333: Good article. 5x expanded from the last revision i could check since the others have been revision deleted. Though I will say that you can probably just name the article N53 road since there's no other wikipedia article named N53 road. Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the last point, this is correct as of now, but there are other articles with a similar name on other wikis, such as nl:N53 (België), so it's possible disambiguation might be required eventually. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:41, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is true (though technically that dutch article is named N53 only and not N53 road and I've seen wikipedia do technicalities like that). Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:11, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
