Hi
I was on the road between Omeath Co. Louth and Newry Co. Down on Saturday
and I crossed the United Kingdom border at [19/54.11201/-6.29200] where the
R173 becomes the B79. The road narrows to bridge under which a culverted or
piped stream flows out into Carlingford Lough. I have added images of it to
Mapillary.

There is no scope at this place for a customs point, I can only imagine the
road would close like it was in the 1970s if Brexit proceeds. Building
infrastructure away from the actual crossing point could be abused by
anyone with a mind to do so, because there are numerous ways down to the
water, and up the Slieve Gullion via bohereens, farm drives and so on.

We may have to remap these areas significantly if there are to be suitable
customs infrastructure, road widening and fencing erected there.
