Essential water network upgrade to get underway on Racecourse Road, Ballyarnett
NI Water is set to begin an essential watermain upgrade on Racecourse Road, Ballyarnett (Derry/Londonderry) on Monday 27th July to improve the resilience of the local water supply network. The work, which involves laying around 170 metres of new watermain between Carnhill Roundabout and Greenhaw Road, will replace a section of the 50-year-old Ballyarnett Water Trunkmain which has been prone to bursts. The upgrade will help to protect homes from flooding, should a burst occur in the future, and provide improved access for NI Water maintenance.
A lane closure controlled by temporary traffic lights will be in place on Racecourse Road around the working area from Monday 27th July for four weeks. A further two weeks of work will take place in the adjacent verge which will not require any traffic management.
Temporary traffic lights will be manned during peak hours and access to properties will be maintained at all times, although parking spaces within the working area will be temporarily unavailable. Once the lane closure is removed, works will move into the adjacent verge to complete the final phase of work.
Works have been scheduled for the summer months to minimise disruption to school traffic, and the late July start date also avoids any impact on the Foyle Cup. Working hours will generally run from 7.30am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, with the possibility of extended hours to complete the work in a shorter timeframe.
NI Water and our project team thank residents and motorists for their patience and cooperation while this essential work is carried out.
Essential Water Infrastructure Improvement Work gets underway – Cornagrade Road, Enniskillen
NI Water is set to commence an upgrade of the water infrastructure on Cornagrade Road, Enniskillen in early August for approximately 6 weeks.
The work will see around 400m of new watermain being laid along Cornagrade Road, starting at Cherrymount Roundabout on Monday 3rd August and progressing as far as the second entrance to Kilmacormick Road.
To facilitate the laying of this new watermain, a lane closure will be in place around each working area and signage will be in place. Working areas will be kept as short as possible (around 100m) with temporary traffic lights in place to manage the flow of traffic.
Access to residential and business properties on and adjacent to Cornagrade Road will be available at all times, although parking spaces within the working area will be affected for a short period of time while the pipelaying passes. Any bus stop located within a working area will be temporarily relocated.
There will be a 40 miles per hour speed limit, commencing on Monday 6th July 2026 at 0001hrs for a period of 3 months, on the A6 Glenshane Road, Dungiven, from its junction with Corrick Road for a distance of 2 kilometres in an Easterly direction.
Being satisfied that traffic should be restricted due to the ongoing underground service works, to upgrade Water Quality infrastructure, between the locations. Traffic signs warning that the use of the road is subject to the above speed limit restrictions and to indicate the nature and extent of the restrictions will be erected on the road.
Closure of Maple Path and Parkmore Footbridges, Craigavon
The Department for Infrastructure have announced that the Maple Path and Parkmore footbridges in Craigavon will be closed from Thursday 4 June 2026.
Detailed engineering inspections identified structural concerns, and it has been concluded that the closure of these footbridges is necessary while a permanent solution is developed.
Alternative local walking routes are available and will be signposted where appropriate. While these routes may increase journey times for some users, they will provide access around the affected areas.
The Department recognises the importance of both footbridges to local residents and apologises for any inconvenience caused. However, as the Department’s infrastructure assets age there will always be an eventual need to replace structures that present safety issues or have come to the end of their natural lifespan.
Further information on future proposals for the bridges will be provided as work progresses.
The Department would like to thank the public for their patience and cooperation.
