A6 Londonderry to Dungiven Dualling Scheme

     

The scheme will provide a 30 kilometre dual carriageway between Londonderry and Dungiven, including a dual carriageway bypass of Dungiven. The proposed road is a high standard dual carriageway. It has no private accesses, no central reserve crossovers, junctions would be grade-separated or left-in/left-out and side roads would either be stopped-up, diverted or linked to minimise the number of junctions. This standard of dual carriageway has considerable safety benefits for the road user. The scheme was included in the Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland (ISNI), which was launched on 14 December 2005. ISNI set a new, comprehensive approach to be used by government to make informed decisions as to the investment priorities for Northern Ireland for the ten year period 2005 to 2015. It included a potential £1bn investment on the strategic road network.
