New roundabout to be constructed as part of £475,000 junction improvement scheme in Limavady

An announcement by the Infrastructure Minister of a £475,000 junction improvement scheme in Limavady has been welcomed by East Derry Sinn Fein MLA Caoimhe Archbaild. She said local people had been calling for the “dangerous” junction at the Broad Road and Greystone Road which is now to get a roundabout.

The scheme will also include resurfacing works on the A37 extending from its junction with Drumsurn Road for a distance of approximately 750 metres towards the junction with Rathmore Road.

Ms Archibald (pictured) said: "The work will greatly improve safety for all road users at this junction while reducing traffic conflict and delays at peak times and the resurfacing works will improve the carriageway surface and reduce routine maintenance costs.”

"Work on the scheme will start mid January with its completion planned for the end of April 2017 and motorists should expect some delays and allow additional time for travel."
