Wow! How beautiful is this garden right beside the Westlink? If only the colour could spill over to the road ;) https://t.co/K25jifXAfx

@WestlinkBestlnk is an exciting project happening in #Belfast Just think how amazing it will be to drive through a Westlink that isn't grey!

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

An idea for Westlink theme could be 'Road of invention' highlighting the rich history we've had in the world of inventions @BankofInvention

Lots of enthusiasm for #WestlinkBestlink at @BBCnireland today. #GrowGoodBuildNew @Y_Influencers

The final suggestion to share today is the idea of creating a natural canopy for the Westlink...

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

and some thought the Westlink just needed a colourful paint job perhaps telling a positive story of Belfast...

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

Others thought we could use the Westlink to advertise local products in a creative way - it's been done elsewhere...

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

Another related idea to improve the visual appearance of the Westlink was to make it a green space with living walls!

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

One idea shared with us was to use Moss Graffiti on some parts of the Westlink to make it less grey and concrete.

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

We've spoken to some pedestrians, locals and commuters to hear their ideas on how we can make it better...

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

The Divis Street Westlink Junction is unique as it is the only example of a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) in the UK & Ireland.

[Westlink Bestlink @WestlinkBestlnk]

It is one of NI’s busiest roads with over 80,000 vehicles using it on a daily basis. It is approximately 2.1 miles (3.4km) long.

Did you know the A12 Westlink forms part of European route E01 running from Larne, NI through Ireland and Portugal to Seville in Spain?
