A6 DERRY TO DUNGIVEN DUALLING PROJECT CONTINUED HOLD UP!

Completion date Spring 2022 - GONE - road not open ⛔️

Completion date Summer 2022 - GONE - road not open ⛔️

Completion date - ??????? 

We all know that with a major contract such as this, there will be delays and disruption. We have all put up with at times, questionable lane closures, diversions, road closures, tailbacks, delays and frustration of trying to travel the relatively short distance from Derry to Dungiven and its surrounding areas but we always had the thought of "IT'LL BE WORTH IT WHEN IT'S FINISHED." 

We are now at the stage where it seems no-one knows when this road will be completed. There is a severe lack of activity or personnel actually working on the road and many rumours are in circulation ref quality of supposed completed works as well as financial issues. 

This continued hold up affects a multitude of road users and businesses that rely on this vital link to the North West of Ireland. How long are we going to have to use unlit lay-bys as 212 bus stops that are less accessible than the bus stops we had before work on the project began! Is it not bad enough that the finished road will not allow for the free flow of traffic all the way into Derry as originally planned but terminates at a roundabout in Drumahoe which already has increased congestion!

We are pleading in the name of sanity and safety to please address these issues and concerns and get this road finished and open!

Petition text

A6 DERRY TO DUNGIVEN HOLD UP

Minister, we respectfully ask for your intervention in the ongoing lack of clarity, action and hold up to the completion and opening of the A6 Derry to Dungiven dualling project.

The unfinished works looked to be forgotten. There are rumours abounding reference the quality of supposed completed works as well as financial issues regarding the lack of progress.

The announcement and commencement of works several years ago was looked on as maybe the North West is not a forgotten area but the current state of play is leaving the majority of people wishing that it had never started due to the daily hold ups, delays and safety issues.

We now look to you for much needed support from a Minister who can get this job done.
