‘Significant delays’ of half-an-hour likely between Derry and Limavady due to off-peak lane closures
‘Significant delays’ of up to half-an-hour should be expected by motorists travelling between Derry and Limavady as off-peak lane closures are implemented to facilitate an active travel scheme between now and early February.
The Department of Infrastructure (DfI) said the delays are likely between now and February 6 as it continues with work on the scheme on the A2 Clooney Road.
"To facilitate the scheme, it will be necessary to implement off-peak lane closures, controlled by temporary traffic lights, (Monday to Friday only) on the A2 Clooney Road, between Ballykelly and Greysteel, during the hours of 9.30am and 4.30pm from Monday, January 5, 2026 until Friday, February 6, 2026.
"Significant delays of half an hour can be expected during this time. Eglinton and Dungiven could be used as an alternative route.
"The Department will keep the public informed of any change,” DfI advised motorists.
The £2.6m scheme started on January 4, 2025 and was originally programmed to run for 52 weeks
