Details of the proposed new route have been on display at the Burnavon Arts and Cultural Centre and virtually on the Department for Infrastructure website.  

During a visit to the public exhibition today Minister Mallon said:  “I am committed to delivering for all communities across Northern Ireland.  Last year I announced my intention to progress a number of strategic infrastructure and flagship projects.  One of these projects was the A29 Cookstown Bypass so I am delighted to be in Cookstown this week where we are unveiling the preferred route.“The proposed route, which is approximately 4km in length, provides a significant opportunity to remove strategic traffic from the town centre of Cookstown.  This will help to reduce traffic congestion, increase road safety and improve air quality".
