A6 temporary road closure to facilitate essential works
Date published:
Overnight road closures on the A6 Castledawson Bypass to facilitate essential works between the Castledawson roundabout and the C557 Hillhead Road junction will be in place on Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 November.
The work to facilitate construction of the dualling on this stretch of the road will result in some disruption to overnight traffic.
The road closure will commence at 10.00 pm on Monday 6 November and will reopen to traffic on Tuesday 7 November at 6.00 am. The closure will be in place again on Tuesday night from 10.00 pm and re-open at 6.00 am on Wednesday 8 November 2017.
Advanced warning signage for the closure will be provided and diversion routes will be signed as necessary.
The Department and the A6 Dualling contractor have carefully programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, however, motorists should be aware that some delays should be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.
