Under this €744,000 has been allocated for specific improvements on a number of bridges including Kilroosk, Lissuan, Cappagh, Fenagh, Drumlea, Corn Mill and Unshinnagh.
Specific improvements schemes have also been earmarked for the R202 from Tamlaght to Dromod and the R280 at Cloonagh.

Funding has also been provided to complete the second phase of traffic calming on the R280 at Killargue and to carry out work at the Junction of the R209 and R280 at Drumheckil (Fingerboard).
