To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on the strategy being developed to determine the most efficient mechanism to take forward A6 Phase 2 – Drumahoe to Caw.

Part of the works associated with Phase 2 of the A6 Derry to Dungiven project, between Drumahoe and the Caw roundabout, will encroach on the Mobuoy waste site. My Department is currently working closely with Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and other stakeholders to ensure the final scheme design fully takes account of the impact of the waste site. This integrated approach will ensure that any remediation proposals take account of respective parties’ requirements, including those relating to the A6 dualling.

The strategy for this phase of the project, which is not part of the current Dungiven to Drumahoe construction contract, will be informed by the remedial proposals for the Mobuoy site currently being developed by NIEA.
