Plans have been announced for a £1.3 million road resurfacing scheme in L'Derry.

The Department for Infrastructure is investing in the work along the A515 Skeoge Link, starting at the Ballyarnett Roundabout and continuing westwards to the Buncrana Road Roundabout, a distance of some 2.8 kilometres. This will include the resurfacing of the Buncrana Road Roundabout.

Work will get underway on 28 February and is expected to be complete by 16 May.

Phased road closures will be in place at various times throughout to facilitate the work. Diversion routes will be signposted.

Announcing the programme of works, Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "I am very pleased to be able to announce this investment in this key cross border transport corridor.

"This work will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network to the benefit of local residents and those who travel through the area. I would like to thank the travelling public and local residents in advance for their cooperation while these much needed works are completed."

Road users are advised to avoid the area whenever possible and to allow extra time for their journey and to follow the alternative routes which will be clearly signed on the approaches to the closures. During construction access for local residents and businesses will be facilitated.
