The new A6 road between Londonderry and Dungiven could open at the end of April, according to a deptinfra official
on Tuesday. He said officials from the department had warned him that, in a worst case scenario, the road would open in July."We're now virtually in the spring of '23 and they're still not giving a final deadline," he added.Following Mr Campbell's comments, Mr Lynch said a road safety audit was now in process and that the main line construction work was "now largely complete with the exception of road signs and street lighting connections".
"The street lighting connections will be complete within the next fortnight. Now the signs won't be complete until next month, but we are running that road safety audit process in parallel. On Tuesday, the head of a Dungiven community group said there have been two consecutive weekends of major traffic disruption around the town due to the road works.Mairead McCormack, who is chief executive of Glenshane Community Development, said locals were deeply frustrated by the traffic, with its associated noise and air pollution.
"We have had supply issues in terms of the signs, we have also had inefficiencies with working in quarantine and all the rest. It's a combination of issues in terms of the delays we are dealing with today."
