A Park and Ride facility at Castledawson Roundabout in L'Derry is to be extended.
Construction work on the £350,000 scheme started today, 28 November.
The extension will add 192 spaces, including 10 disabled spaces, to the 78 spaces that currently exist.
The proposed scheme will provide additional capacity for safe and convenient parking for those wishing to share transport or take public transport. The car park will be served by a regular bus service operating along the main A6 between Belfast and the North West, offering commuters an alternative to using the private car for their onward journey.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard said: "The existing Park and Ride at Castledawson has proven very popular with occupancy rates at capacity in recent months. The increased popularity of Park and Ride and Park and Share represents a major and welcome shift in many people's travel behaviour."
