A contractor has been appointed to commence new North Stand at the Brandywell in Derry.
Construction is expected to commence in the coming weeks and will continue into early next year.
Derry City FC confirmed that they informed Derry City and Strabane District Council of their appointment of a contractor to construct the new North Stand at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
Site enabling works that included the disconnection of services and the complete demolition of Blocks A and B at the northern end of the existing stand have already taken place.
Construction works are expected to start in the coming weeks and continue over several months and into early next year ahead of the FAI season in February.
Planning permission was granted in October last year for the partial demolition of the Southend Stand and the development of a safe standing covered terrace, male and female toilet facilities, additional turnstiles, access gates and other associated works on the site.
Sean Barrett, Derry City FC’s Chief Executive says ongoing engagement will continue with user groups, residents and fans over the coming weeks and months and every effort will be made to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.
