• B46 Creggan Road
• U1722 Hazelhill Road

As with all improvement schemes of this type the scheduled dates are subject to favourable weather conditions.

TransportNI has planned the works and traffic management arrangements to minimise any inconvenience, however, drivers should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the area.
