Proposed options for Carrick-on-Shannon bypass to be published by Summer

The selection of the preferred routes for Carrick-on-Shannon's N4 bypass will go public by June this year.

Leitrim County Council said the project is progressing but has taken time to move on to the next stage due to the "number of submissions" and the number of transport solutions to be assessed.

The option routes will go on public display in the second quarter of this year and a briefing will be provided to the elected members in advance of public display.

Cllr Finola Armstrong McGuire asked for the update at this month's Carrick Municipal District meeting. She said a lot of people are wondering when this information will be made available.

It was confirmed last year that over 2,300 submissions had been made on the project and 200 virtual meetings were held between the design team and the public due to Covid restrictions.
