Weekend road closure Madams Bank Road, Derry/Londonderry

A reminder that Madams Bank Road will be closed to through traffic between Rockfield and Steelstown Road from 7pm on Friday 5th September until 6am on Monday 8th September to facilitate new sewers being laid across the road.

Access to Rockfield will be available via Culmore Road Roundabout while access to Earhart Park and Steelstown Road will be via Ballyarnett Roundabout during this time.

Lane tapers/coning will also be in place on Culmore Road and Foyle Bridge over the weekend as part of the required traffic management. This set up will not impact the half marathon arrangement for Sunday 7th September. 

Once the road crossing has been completed, pipelaying will continue along the verge of Madams Bank Road under a contraflow system. A closure of the Steelstown Road junction will be required to safely cross that section and we will provide a further update once that has been approved.

NI Water and our project team from BSG and Arup greatly appreciate the cooperation of local residents and wider public as we continue with this essential work to provide a new sewerage system to support development in the city.
