Scheme Background In December 2011, the Department (Department for Regional Development at that time) published proposals to upgrade 30km (18.6 miles) of the A6 between Londonderry and Dungiven to a high standard dual carriageway. This included a bypass of Dungiven, along with an upgrade of the existing A2 Clooney Road dual carriageway between Caw Roundabout and Maydown Roundabout. Subsequent to the findings of a Public Inquiry held during September and October 2012, the Department announced in February 2016 that the scheme would proceed, subject to the availability of funding. At the same time, the Departmental Statement was published, setting out the Department’s response to the recommendations in the Public Inquiry Inspector’s Report. As detailed within the Departmental Statement, the scheme design has been subject to refinement where the Department has accepted recommendations made within the Inspector’s Report. Discussions with affected landowners are ongoing to agree individual accommodation works. The scheme layout shown in this leaflet is not necessarily indicative of any minor design changes which are subject to ongoing discussions with landowners. Community Update - August 2017 This community update has been prepared to inform the local community of the current plan for the A6 Londonderry to Dungiven dualling scheme.

Scheme Details What is happening now? The planned scheme is a 25.5km high standard dual carriageway with no private accesses, no In January 2017, the then Minister for Infrastructure Mr Chris Hazzard announced the central reserve crossovers and junctions will either be grade-separated, left-in/left-out or at-grade. Department for Infrastructure (DfI) should take forward the detailed design and construction of Roundabouts will connect the scheme to the existing road network at Dungiven and Drumahoe. Side a 25.5km section of the scheme between Dungiven and Drumahoe, including a 5km bypass of roads will either be stopped-up, diverted or linked to junctions, to minimise the number of scheme Dungiven. access points. The Vesting Order to acquire and purchase land for the planned 25.5km section of dualling has been made and comes into effect on the 19th September 2017. Procurement of this section of the scheme has commenced with a restricted list of construction contractors bidding for the works. Subject to the successful completion of the procurement process it is anticipated that construction works will commence in the Spring of 2018 and will take up to 4 years to complete. It is estimated that this section of the scheme will cost in the region of £230m to £255m. The successful contractor will be required to minimise disruption to local residents, road users, and the general public during construction. The Department is continuing to undertake surveys and collect further environmental information along the planned corridor of the scheme between Dungiven and Drumahoe. This includes Advanced Archaeological, Geotechnical and Ecological Investigations/Surveys, some of which have been completed and some are ongoing and will continue over the remainder of this year. This standard of dual carriageway will greatly improve journey times and journey time reliability for road users, significantly improve road safety and traffic congestion and enhance connectivity and Officials are in detailed discussions with affected landowners with regards to compensation for unlock economic potential of the whole region. the compulsory acquisition of land and property. Land & Property Services (LPS) are acting on behalf of the Department in relation to negotiation of claims and general valuation advice.
