‘Very bad state of repair’ prompts call for road works near Leitrim amenity
A Leitrim road described as being in “a very bad state of repair” is to be investigated by the Council, with works potentially included in the 2027 programme.
A road in Leitrim that has been described as being in “a very bad state of repair” will be investigated by Leitrim County Council following a motion put forward at a meeting of Ballinamore Municipal District.
Cllr Ita Reynolds-Flynn asked that the road from Nailors Cross to Keeldra be tarred and chipped, as the road, particularly the lower section towards Keeldra, is in “a very bad state of repair.”
Cllr Paddy O’Rourke added that there is also an issue with a bridge in the area, which was on a list for works a number of years ago.
The motion was seconded by Cllr Róisín Kenny, who noted that the condition of the road appears to be caused by timber lorries.
A response from the Roads Department stated: “The L-1574-2 will be investigated by Leitrim County Council. If deemed suitable, it can be added to the Restoration Maintenance Grant for 2027.”
