Road improvement scheme for Cornshell Fields, Derry

Date published: 03 December 2020

A £63,000 resurfacing scheme on the U1529 Cornshell Fields, Derry, is due to commence on Wednesday 6 January 2021.

Road resurfacing

The works will commence near the U1224 Racecourse Road junction and progress eastwards for 530 metres.

To facilitate the works, it will be necessary to operate a lane closure (Monday to Saturday) between the hours of 8.00 am and 6.00 pm from Wednesday 6 January to Tuesday 19 January.

A full road closure will be required to facilitate the laying of the final surface layer. Details will be advertised in due course. Access for residents will be maintained but delays should be expected.

The Department has carefully planned these road works and associated traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience to the public.  The public is asked to avoid the area whenever possible and to allow extra time for their journey.

All work will be carried out in line with current public health and health and safety advice, with safe systems of working in place for staff and contractors.
