Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development when construction work will begin on the bypass at Dungiven, following the announced outcomes of the public enquiry for the A6.

Answer:

The indicative allocations for the 2017/18 – 2020/21 period will fund construction of part of the A6 Londonderry to Dungiven dualling scheme. My Department is currently considering the extent of the scheme, including a bypass of Dungiven, which could be delivered. It is envisaged that priority will be given to construction from Dungiven towards Londonderry.

Subject to making the Statutory Orders, approval of the final Business Case and successful procurement, it is possible the first phase of Londonderry to Dungiven scheme could commence in 2018/19.
