Foyle Bridge.
Foyle Bridge in Derry is to undergo a £350,000 major resurfacing scheme next month.
Work will commence on the carriageway approaching the bridge from Caw Roundabout on Tuesday, 6 May and will last for one week.
A contra-flow system will operate from 7.00am until 6.00am on Saturday, 10 May.
A full road closure will take place from 6.00am on Saturday, 10 May until 8.00pm on Sunday 11 May for traffic travelling westwards from Caw Roundabout to Culmore Roundabout.
Traffic travelling in the opposite direction (Culmore Roundabout to Caw Roundabout) will be unaffected by this closure.
A diversionary route will be signposted via Limavady Road, Craigavon Bridge, Strand Road and Culmore Road.
Confirming the commencement of the works, Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy said the scheme greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the carriageway on part of “this strategically important road.”
Mr Kennedy said Roads Service had “carefully programmed” the works operations and traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public, however motorists should be aware that some delays may be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.
