Hide AdA Department for Infrastructure said: “This is great news for the 15,000 vehicles using the route each day and will bring long term benefits for road users and the local community in providing shorter, safer and more reliable journey times.
"This scheme along with the Randalstown to Castledawson scheme completed in 2021 represents an investment of around £440 million to upgrade the roads infrastructure between Derry and Belfast with approximately three quarters of the route now dual carriageway standard or better."
The Department thanked the contractors who worked together on the project.
