The main Derry to Buncrana Road has re-opened following a police operation during the morning rush hour.
Sealed off: Whitehouse Road
The main thoroughfare had been closed from Skeoge Road and Templemore Sports Complex as police carried out a search operation.
However, a number of other roads in the area – including Whitehouse Road, Cosquinn Road and Groarty Road – remain sealed off as the policing operation continues in the area.
A PSNI spokesperson said police were conducting the search of the area following a report of suspicious activity.
Army bomb disposal experts are at the scene.
Last week police warned members of the public in the Whitehouse Road area to be vigilant and to report any suspicious objects to police.
At the time, a police spokesperson revealed a thorough search had carried out following information that suggested there may be something suspicious in the area.
The spokesperson said officers went door to door talking to local residents and while nothing was found police asked should someone come across a suspicious object they do not touch it and contact police immediately.
