Ballykelly: Roadworks to last 33 weeks ‘causing major disruption’

BBC News NI has approached the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) for comment.

The DFI previously said the project is aimed at improving access for pedestrians and cyclists by installing cycle-lanes and greenway paths. Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd said the project would help boost tourism in the Ballykelly and Greysteel areas.

It is estimated that the work, which will also include resurfacing of existing roads, will cost about £2.6m.

Previously, the DfI said to “facilitate the work temporary traffic management will be in place from 30 September 2024 for a period of 33 weeks”. They said delays were expected but they were trying to “minimise inconvenience”.

Temporary traffic lights have been installed on the Clooney Road to allow two opposite lanes of traffic to merge into a single lane while the work in the road continues.

However, some commuters and residents in Ballykelly have told BBC Radio Foyle’s North West Today that the system is already causing issues for motorists.
