Folks this page has been set up to create awareness of the ongoing battle with DFI regarding the A6 duelling scheme. DFI boasted that the A6 bypass to Dungiven was opened on March 22nd. Since then there has been nothing but changes to the road network in around Dungiven town, with access being cut off for local people and especially the elderly from going to Dungiven town.

Dungiven town is yet again to suffer at the hands of the planning from DFI where the town is being completely closed to traffic from the Maghera side, and traffic from the Derry side unable to continue through Dungiven. A 38 mile detour the DFI are asking people to take instead of closing half of the road or working a night shift to complete the works, where this compromise has happened in other areas throughout the north in very recent times.

The impact this has to the people of Dungiven and the surrounding area includes the Goldliner bus service, the airporter service and local bus journeys that people depend on going through Dungiven being suspended from 8pm on Friday until 6am on Monday. This also has a knock on effect to businesses in Dungiven suffering a loss in footfall. Not to forget the passing trade for the weekends GAA matches in Owenbeg were there is 10,000 people expected to attend.

DFI have been offered numerous options and if they cannot come back and agree a compromise, we will as a community be taking action to stop these works proceeding.
