Mr. Delargy told MLAs this was welcome news for people in Derry and Donegal.
He asked what engagement the Department had had with schools and businesses.
Mr. O'Dowd said: “Part of the development of the north-west transport plan will involve discussions with relevant stakeholders. Businesses, schools and the local community are key to that. There will be ongoing discussions with those stakeholders.”
