Plans to enhance visibility on north Leitrim road
Cllr Justin Warnock proposed a motion at December's meeting of Manorhamilton MD for road realignment on a section of the R282 in Rossinver.
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.
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.
