Said the Foyle MLA: “The recent tragedy on the A5 has left families, friends and a whole community utterly devastated.
“Forty-two people have lost their lives on this road since 2006, and many others have been affected with life changing injuries.
“It’s time to urgently upgrade the A5 road to improve safety and save lives.
“Upgrading this road has huge benefits, like connecting Derry to Dublin, creating jobs and attracting investment into the north west.
“The A5 upgrade must face no more delays and be ready for construction immediately following the public inquiry that will be held this year.”
