The improvement scheme includes the provision of a shared footway/cycleway for a distance of approximately 500 metres along the A29 Ring Road between the Portrush Road Roundabout and Cromore Road. This scheme, which will extend the existing cycleway-footway and improve links to the University of Ulster, also includes resurfacing of the carriageway.

Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd said: "This significant investment for the Coleraine area is part of an overall vision to provide a high-quality active travel link between Coleraine and Portstewart.
"The scheme, which builds on other recent active travel improvements in Coleraine, will enhance provision for cyclists and pedestrians in the area and will provide a connection to the University of Ulster, increasing opportunities for active travel for students and residents alike.
"I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions associated with these works."
To facilitate the work, temporary traffic management will be in place on the Ring Road from the 23 September 2024 for a period of 18 weeks.
