A programme of roadworks has got underway in the Co L'Derry town of Limavady.

The Department for Infrastructure is investing £470,000 to improve a 1.7km section of the Seacoast Road from Limestone Road near Drumavally to Point Road.

Work got underway this morning, 28 March, and is expected to reach completion by Friday 15 April.

Due to the nature of the scheme it will be necessary to introduce a full road closure from 7.30 am to 6pm daily from Monday 04 April 2022 until Friday 15 April 2022.

During the road closure a diversion will be in operation via A2 Aghanloo Road - B201 Windyhill Road - A2 Ballykelly Road - B69 Seacoast Road and vice versa.

Launching the scheme, Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "I am pleased to announce this significant investment in the Limavady area. This scheme will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network and will serve the local community and visitors to the area for many years to come. 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 while these much needed works are completed."
