MAGHERA
TRANSPORTATION

Maghera is located on the A29, a link corridor within the Strategic Road Transport Network. The A29 provides a north/south link between the towns of Coleraine and Newry as well as other towns along the route. The town is situated immediately to the north of the A6, the strategic route between Belfast and Londonderry.

During the Plan period the Department for Regional Development will carry out a Transportation Study which will identify a number of Local Transport and Safety schemes for implementation within and just outside Maghera which is identified within the Rural Area of the Sub Regional Transport Plan. These schemes, which will be in line with the DRD Regional Transportation Strategy, will further enhance the town through better management of traffic, accident reduction, facilities for the disabled and improvements to the urban road, cycle and footway network. Implementation of identified schemes will be subject to the availability of resources within the SRTP.
