MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, January 23, 2017

QUESTION NO. 18

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"To ask the Chief Executive to please look into providing an extra lane of traffic at the exit at Killinarden onto the N81. Traffic at Whitestown Industrial Estate in the evening is blocked-in due to single line traffic?"

REPLY:

"Subject to the current road width (kerb to kerb) being at least 9.5 metres, we can adjust the position of the road centreline to provide 3 lanes of traffic. A site survey will take place and the works undertaken if the width exists. Otherwise, while possible, the work could be done at much greater cost and these can be presented at a later meeting if the foregoing measures are not achievable."
