Public advised regarding pathway closures at Creggan Reservoir
26 June 2025
Regular visitors to the Creggan Reservoir area should note that there will be two pathway closures in operation in the coming weeks to facilitate the safe execution of the necessary ground investigation works to the reservoir embankments.The investigation work will take place in two locations throughout July and August to reduce disruption for the public.
The first location is the Middle Reservoir Path which connects Creggan to Glenowen which will be closed from 7 July – 28 July. The second location is the Lower Reservoir Path which also connects Creggan to Glenowen which will be closed between 29 July – 15 August.
As one path will always be operational during the necessary site investigations, members of the public are asked to use the alternative connecting path during this time.
A Council spokesperson explained: “Council is undertaking this essential works as part of the ongoing ground investigation works at the Creggan Reservoir site. Disruption will be kept to a minimum throughout the works but some diversions will be required to help people navigate the area. Council apologizes for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the support and co-operation of the public.”
A full report on the planned works will be brought to the Environment and Regeneration Committee in July.
