Motorists anger at lack of signage on ‘road to nowhere’

Motorists have expressed anger at the lack of signage to tell them that the Killea road into Derry is closed.

As of 11.30am this morning, the road was closed by a fallen tree following last night’s storm.

Hundreds of motorists normally use the road into Manorcunningham and on into Derry.

But there was no signage warning drivers that the road is blocked.

One woman said “I know the council are under severe pressure but one lousy sign would sort this situation.

“Hundreds of motorists are driving into Killea and into Derry but have to turn back. There is a lot of confusion.

“One elderly woman passed me and was left confused because she didn’t know that it was actually a tree in the middle of the road.”
