A further public consultation is being held on the long awaited A5 road.
The public are invited to give their views on A5 Supplementary Environmental Information published recently by the Department for Infrastructure.
The A5 upgrade, which was announced back in 2006, will see the route from Derry to the border at Aughnacloy transformed into a dual carriageway and is estimated to cost around £1.2bn.
The Department published and consulted on a new Environmental Statement Addendum (ESA 2022) and associated documentation on the A5 Western Transport Corridor dual carriageway scheme in March 2022.
Having considered the opinions expressed in response to that consultation process, the Department is further consulting on a number of new and other updated reports as supplementary information to the ESA 2022.
These reports relate to new information on a new Outline Business Case for the scheme; updates and additional information on scheme alternatives; scheme phasing; agricultural industry impacts and further background information on proposed mitigation measures at Tully Bog Special Area of Conservation.
The Department encourages anyone with an interest to make their views known during this consultation period, which is open until December 23 2022.
Members of the public can submit their views by letter or email.
