Access for local residents and businesses will be accommodated during this phase of the works programme.

A diversion route via the C581 Woodburn Park and A6 Dungiven Road, and vice versa, will be available for road users who would normally use the Rossdowney Road route.

A spokesperson for the Department for Infrastructure said:

“Whilst the Department has carefully planned these road works and associated traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, motorists should expect delays and allow additional time when planning any journey.

“The above work is subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change,” the spokesperson added.
