Mallon announces £226,000 road improvement scheme for Baranailt Road, near Claudy
Date published:
Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon has announced that a £226,000 resurfacing scheme on the Baranailt Road, near the village of Claudy, will begin on Monday 24 February 2020.
The scheme will start near the junction with the Foreglen Road and proceed along Baranailt Road for a distance of 1.4 kilometres.
Minister Mallon said:
"I have made clear my intention to tackle the regional imbalance in infrastructure. I want any investment in roads to reflect the need across our entire network. I am pleased to announce this road improvement scheme on the Baranailt Road which represents an investment of £226,000 in the Claudy area. The work will significantly improve the strength and surface quality of this section of the road network and will serve the local community for many years to come.”
To facilitate the resurfacing it will be necessary to operate a road closure for the duration of the work. A two way signed diversion will be available via A6 Foreglen Road and B192 Drumrane Road. Access for residents and landowners will be maintained.
The Department has programmed the work and traffic management arrangements to minimise any inconvenience, however, drivers should expect some delays and are advised to leave additional time when planning any journeys.
Completion of the work by 7 March is dependent on favourable weather conditions.
