About the A6 Randalstown to Castledawson Dualling Scheme
Currently being delivered by GRAHAM as part of a Joint Venture, the A6 Scheme involves the upgrade of 14.7 kilometres of the A6 North Western Transport Corridor between Randalstown and Castledawson to dual carriageway. Once complete, it will connect Belfast and the North West via Toome, Maghera and Dungiven.
Preliminary works began in October 2016, before the main construction programme commenced in June 2017. The Randalstown to Toome section of the A6 was formally opened in September 2019, with the Toome to Castledawson section expected to start welcoming traffic in 2021.
