NI traffic alerts: Westlink blocked after crash and broken down vehicle while main NI route re-opens

The single-vehicle collision happened on Drumrane Road in Dungiven.

Diversions were put in place for a number of hours, however the route has now been re-opened

It follows long delays on the Weslink heading towards the M1 earlier Saturday afternoon.

A broken down vehicle on the A12 in lane three at Broadway caused delays stretching back down the Westlink and impacting the Nelson Street junction around 2.15pm.

A crash on Glenmachan Street, outside McDonald’s at the end of Boucher Road, caused further delays stretching up Tate’s Avenue.

Both incidents were cleared around 3pm.

Meanwhile, a Co Tyrone road was closed at lunch time on Saturday following an early morning crash.

The A4 Ballagh Road in Fivemiletown – the main route from Clogher – was shut in both directions between Alderwood Road and Anagh Road with diversions in place.

The route has since re-opened.
