£245,000 road improvement scheme for Racecourse Road, Londonderry

Date published: 16 March 2018

A £245,000 resurfacing and reconstruction scheme has commenced on the U1224 Racecourse Road, Londonderry.

Resurfacing work

Work began on 12 March to resurface a section of the road heading northwards from Ballyarnett Roundabout to Alder Road.

To facilitate the resurfacing a lane closure has been in operation from 12 to 19 March between 08.00 am and 6.00 pm, however, it will be necessary to implement a full road closure from 20 to 30 March between 9.30 am and 6.00 pm.

A diversion via A514 Madam’s Bank Road and A1002 Culmore Road will be clearly signposted.

Road users may experience some delays and additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.

It is expected work will be substantially completed by early April, however, this  is subject to favourable weather conditions and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
