Mr. Wm. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many vehicles pass over Glenshane Pass on the main road between Londonderry and Maghera; how many cross the road bridge at Dungiven; and what are the forecasts for 1985 and 1990.
§ Mr. Carter, pursuant to his reply [Official Report 13 March 1979; Vol. 964, c. 141], gave the following information:
In August 1978 approximately 3,660 vehicles per day were recorded using route A6 passing over the Glenshane pass.
On the Dungiven side of the A6-B74 junction 5,270 vehicles per day were recorded and approximately the same number would cross the road bridge at Dungiven.
Forecasts for 1985 lie between 4,200 and 4,800 vehicles per day on the Glenshane pass and 6,100 and 6,900 vehicles per day at Dungiven. For 1990 the figures are between 4,500 and 5,400 and between 6,500 and 8,000 respectively.
