Lessons must be learned from the delays to the long-awaited A6 road upgrade, East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell says.
Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle's Breakfast Show, Mr Campbell said it was "exceptionally good news" that the project will be open before the Easter break.
"Myself and others kept being told that despite the [Covid-19] pandemic it would all be finished on time, and it wasn't." "We are delivering the largest road infrastructure project ever delivered in Northern Ireland," Mr Lynch said.Mr Lynch said that in terms of scale of the project, they had more than 600 people working on the site in peak periods, have excavated enough material to fill Wembley Stadium in London and planted close to 750,000 trees.
Mr Lynch said 15,000 vehicles use the route each day and it will reduce journey time from Drumahoe to Dungiven by about 45% and be a "significant benefit" to improving road safety.
