 As of 2018, Dungiven is currently the only village on the Belfast-Derry route that is not bypassed, leading to traffic congestion at certain times of the day.Construction started in Summer 2018 on a new dual carriageway with grade-separated junctions which, when it opens in 2022, will bypass Dungiven and end at Drumahoe on the eastern outskirts of Derry city.The existing A6 passes near Claudy and Killaloo, which will both be bypassed by the new dualling scheme currently under construction.
