Plans to enhance visibility on north Leitrim road

Rossinver road should see improvement works next year to enhance visibility, as heard at the meeting of Manorhamilton Municipal District.

Cllr Justin Warnock proposed a motion urging the Roads department to seek funding for road realignment on a section of the R282 in Rossinver, between the Kiltyclogher junction and Kevin Regan’s Aeropods construction business.

“There’s a bend there that you can’t see and there’s a section of a hedge that needs to come out and a little bit of money needs to be spent for the visibility of people that live in the village,” Cllr Warnock said.

He also highlighted the heavy traffic on the road.

Proposed bus service could boost tourism and connectivity in Leitrim and Sligo

Councillors James Gilmartin and Felim Gurn proposed motions at a Manorhamilton MD meeting, emphasising the benefits of a bus service from Leitrim to Glencar Waterfall.

A response from the Roads department explained that the section of the road mentioned in Cllr Warnock’s motion would not qualify for a Strategic Infrastructure Grant.

However, plans are in place to implement low-cost safety works to improve visibility at the junctions in Rossinver. This work is expected to be completed in 2025, subject to land acquisition.
