Work On £35m Road Scheme Complete Ahead Of Schedule
Construction firms BAM and McCann have completed work on a £35million road scheme ahead of schedule.
The A31 Magherafelt bypass will ease congestion and improve links in the Mid Ulster area to and from the M2.
The new bypass was built on a largely green field site to the east of Magherafelt between the A31 Moneymore Road at Coolshinny Road junction to the south of Magherafelt and the A6 Castledawson roundabout to the north. It incorporates three new roundabouts at Moneymore Road, Ballyronan Road and Aughrim Road which provide access to the new road as well as a number of under bridges at Killyfaddy Road, Loves Road and Killyneese Road.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard said: "Delivering extensive improvements to the roads infrastructure such as this involves the cooperation and understanding of the local community. I acknowledge the impact that this scheme has had on residents, landowners and businesses. However, I am confident that everyone involved will see and immediately begin to benefit from this significant investment."
