Roads Service is investigating the feasibility of improving the A2 Buncrana Road in Derry between Pennyburn roundabout and the border with the Republic of Ireland.

Buncrana Road is part of the North Western Key Transport Corridor connecting Belfast to the city and to Donegal.

It is an important rod link in the city and Roads Service is looking at ways to improve journey times along this busy corridor.

• Tuesday 1st April 2008 (5pm to 9pm)
• Wednesday 2nd April 2008 (10am to 9pm)

Mr Jim Beattie, Divisional Roads Manager for Roads Service, Northern Division, said: "Roads Service has organised this important event to give local elected representatives, businesses, local residents, statutory consultees and other interested parties the opportunity to come along, meet the design team and obtain information on the project and to take part in the process as the design is developed."
