£220m Works Progress On A6

A major programme of works is moving forward on the A6 Glenshane Road near Drumahoe, Co L'Derry.

This will see the route closed in both directions at its junction with Tirbracken Road from 7pm on Friday 08 November to 5am on Monday 11 November. It will allow a deep excavation to take place for a culvert installation across the A6 as well as a water main installation.


These works are being delivered as part of the £220 million Dungiven to Drumahoe Dualling scheme, which will see the construction of 25.5 kilometres of new high standard dual carriageway.

Road users are advised to leave additional time for their journeys in this area and to follow the diversions in place or to use alternative routes when travelling to or from the north west and Donegal.

The signed diversion will be in place on the A6 from its junction with the B118 Tamnaherin Road via A2 Clooney Road to Altnagelvin Roundabout and vice versa.
