Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard has welcomed a £120,000 major resurfacing scheme on the Ruskey Road and Ballymulligan Road in Loup, Co Derry.
The resurfacing works extend a distance of approximately 860 metres through the Loup Crossroads and include the resurfacing of approximately 700 metres of footway.
Preparatory work began earlier this month on the scheme which is expected to be completed on week commencing 15 August.
Mr Hazzard said to help minimise any inconvenience to the travelling public, local businesses, church and schools, the preparatory work on the carriageway and completion of the footway work is programmed to be completed using traffic control.
A one-day road closure however will be required to facilitate the final surfacing of the carriageway. The road closure is scheduled to take place on Saturday 13 August.
During this period traffic will be diverted via Coagh. Advanced warning signage for the closures will be provided.
