“These works will be carried out under night shift. To enable this work to be carried out safely, to both the public and our workforce, the road will be closed to through traffic. Works carried out will include carriageway planing and laying carriageway base course,” the Co. Derry firm stated.

Every night of that week, from Sunday to Friday, the lower Strand Road will be completely closed to traffic from 7 p.m to 7.00 a.m.

It will be equally inaccessible for much of the succeeding weekend, from 7 p.m. on the night of Saturday, June 9, until 7.00 a.m. on the Monday morning of June 11.

“Works carried out on this weekend will include laying asphalt surface course and raising carriageway iron work,” the company wrote.

The contractor has asked local residents for forbearance while the work is carried out and apologised in advance for any inconvenience that may be caused during the road works.

“As with all construction work there will be some noise and disruption,” said the Magherafelt-based firm.
