Works recommenced on Monday and will continue until the end of August, with works seven days a week, and extended working hours from 7am to 11pm.

NI Water said that following extensive consultations to minimise the works impact of these works on residents, businesses and road users, works have been programmed to be completed during the summer months when traffic flows are lightest, however some level of disruption should be expected.

Traffic flows through Ballykelly Village is via the use of temporary traffic controls.

Significant traffic delays are expected during these works, road users are advised to allow extra time for their journey, or if possible take an alternative route.

There are also a number of lanes closed on roads around the Claudy, while roadworks are also taking place in and around Caw Roundabout over the coming weeks.
