Consultation description

The Department for Infrastructure is proposing a new 3m wide shared use footway/cycleway along Foreglen Road. 3 new sections of shared footway/cycleway will complete a 10km route from Dungiven to the junction with Ballyhanedin Road.

This will connect to existing and planned future infrastructure, to complete a 14km active travel route linking the communities of Claudy, Foreglen, Derrynaflaw and Dungiven.

As part of the improvements, the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) proposes to make an Order entitled The Cycle Routes (Amendment No. 2) Order (Northern Ireland) 2026.
