The Minister for Infrastructure has been urged to advance with the A5 Western Transport Corridor project ahead of a potential election this December.
Members of Derry and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) held a special meeting with the Infrastructure Minister, John O'Dowd, on Wednesday, October 19 calling for the minister to 'urgently progress' the project for public safety.
The project was first proposed 14 years ago, and plans to link Derry and Aughnacloy and improve connections in the North West.
