The works is being done in two sections; the first section is 770 metres in length and starts close to the junction with the Barnes Road and the second section starts on the approach to the Magherabrack Road junction and extends for some 925 metres.
The works are scheduled to last for two weeks and will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the road.
To facilitate the works, it will be necessary to operate a road closure (Monday to Saturday) between the hours of 7.30 am and 7.00 pm.
A two way diversion is in place via Altinure Road, Glendra Road and Glenshane Road. Access for residents and landowners will be maintained but delays should be expected.
The Department has programmed the work operations and traffic management arrangements to minimise inconvenience. However road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the vicinity of the works and are asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions.
Subject to favourable weather conditions all work will be completed by Friday 12 February and the Department will keep the public informed of any change.
All work will be carried out in line with current public health and health and safety advice, with safe systems of working in place for staff and contractors.
