Sinn Féin is set to meet with the Department for Infrastructure over the frequently delayed A6 upgrade project.

Drivers in Dungiven and the north west are becoming increasingly frustrated at delays in the A6 upgrade and Dungiven bypass scheme, a local Sinn Féin MLA has said.

East Derry MLA Caoimhe Archibald commented: "Long delays have become the norm in and around Dungiven while a brand new road remains unopened.

"I have written to the Department for Infrastructure to seek clarity over the completion date and how delays are being addressed.

"Party colleagues and I will meet senior officials in the department over the next short while and will emphasise the need for better communication with the community and road users.

"Sinn Féin will continue to work to ensure this essential link for the wider North West area will be completed as quickly as possible."
