Proposed Part 8 Scheme

Belgard Square North to Cookstown Road Link Road

REPLY:

"The Roads Department are proposing to commence a Part 8 on a proposed link road joining Belgard Sq North with Cookstown Rd, as shown in the County Development Plan 2016-2022. In the revised CDP, there was the rezoning of Cookstown to a ‘regeneration zone’, which includes residential development. As a result, we need to provide improved access through to Cookstown and the Hospital. The proposed road will be 102m long and have improved cycle and pedestrian facilities. A proposed signalised junction will be constructed at the junction of the Link Rd and Belgard Sq North. A priority junction will be constructed at the junction of the Link Rd and the Cookstown Rd. As part of the scheme we will construct 1.5m wide on road cycle tracks along Belgard Rd North to the Hospital Roundabout on the western side and to existing cycle facilities on the eastern side."
