Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Councillor Kathleen McGurk has welcomed updates from the Department of Infrastructure on the progress of the A6.
The Sinn Féin Cllr for the Benbradagh area said there was annoyance at the length of the works.
"There is a great deal of frustration that we are still waiting on the completion of the A6 road to Belfast.
“While everyone understands the need to ensure works are completed safely, we urged the department to do so as quickly as possible.
"It was welcome to hear that the Department expects the work to be finished by the end of March, however, this depends on the outcome of the Roads Safety Audit,” Cllr McGurke said.
She said the scheme is now well advanced, but signage and street lighting works are yet to be completed.
"When the road opens it will initially have traffic management in place for a while before we will have full dual lane opening.”
"Sinn Féin will continue to work closely with the department during this time to ensure focus is kept on this project as it is an essential and long-awaited upgrade for the people of Dungiven and the Northwest," she added.
