Foyle Street closure | NI Water News

Foyle Street in Derry/Londonderry is due to close to motorists between Water Street and Shipquay Place from Monday 12th August to facilitate a year-long programme of essential infrastructure improvements by NI Water.

The work will see the replacement of the 100-year-old water and wastewater network in this part of the city, as well as the installation of a dedicated storm (rain) water pipeline and the completion of over 50 connections to local properties.

While work is ongoing, pedestrian access will be maintained on Foyle Street and bus services will operate from both Foyle Street Car Park (Ulsterbus services) and Foyle Street Bus Station (Foyle Metro & Goldliner services). 

Our contractor will manage deliveries to businesses and other day-to-day operations on Foyle Street and designated taxi bays will be implemented and accessible to pedestrians during the work.

During the first week of the Foyle Street closure, Water Street (country bound) will also be closed to complete preliminary work currently ongoing in that area. Motorists will be diverted from Orchard Street along the front of Foyleside Shopping Centre to the Foyle Embankment.

Signage will be in place to direct motorists for all phases of work.

NI Water would like to thank the public for their patience and cooperation while work on Foyle Street is ongoing. We will endeavour to deliver a modern water and wastewater system in a sensitive and timely way.
