Minister Kimmins announces £290,000 road scheme for Kilhoyle Road, Limavady
Date published:
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced a £290,000 carriageway resurfacing scheme for the Kilhoyle Road, Limavady.
The resurfacing scheme extends approx. 1500m along the Kilhoyle Road, after the Drumsurn Road junction and past Gortnarney Road junction.
Minister Kimmins said:
“This is a substantial investment for the Limavady area which will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users. The investment demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. I would like to thank residents, local businesses, and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out.”
To facilitate the safe delivery of the scheme it will be necessary to implement a road closure, which will be operational daily from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm from Monday 16 February 2026 until Friday 6 March 2026.
During these times, signed diversionary routes will be in place via U2266 Cloghan Road - C529 Drumsurn Road - B64 Legavallon Road - B190 Belraugh Road and vice versa.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience, however, while measures have been taken to accommodate local access, road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be substantially complete by Friday 6 March 2026, however the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
