Traffic
- In answer to a written parliamentary question in June 2006, it was revealed that the average daily flow of traffic over the Glenshane Pass between Dungiven and Maghera on the A6 was approximately 5,500 in each direction.
- In 2003, a major improvement scheme costing £1m was completed on the Glenshane Pass. The road was widened from Carruda Bridge for 2.2 km uphill past the Ponderosa Bar, to provide two lanes for traffic travelling towards Belfast. Traffic travelling towards Derry already had the benefit of a similar overtaking lane on the south side of the Pass.
