SDLP councillor Martin Reilly
Speaking after DfI Roads responded to his query, Councillor Reilly said: “A constituent has been in touch frustrated at the short timing of the green light allowing traffic approaching from Victoria Road to enter Duke Street and Spencer Road at the end of the Craigavon Bridge.
“In busy morning and evening traffic, my constituent tells me that it can take over 30 minutes to travel 0.7miles from the Foyle Search and Rescue Boathouse through this junction.
“I therefore welcome the decision by DfI Roads officials to instruct contractors to appraise this junction again in terms of the timing being applied to each traffic lane.
“This location is a key gateway to our city.
“I hope that this review – and any identified changes – will supply people with confidence that the junction is working at optimum performance,” added Cllr Reilly.
