“These developments will help improve access to the county, helping us attract more investment and boost tourist numbers. They will also help reduce traffic congestion in busy areas, which I know will be most welcome to businesses and homeowners.”
“Over €3.4 million is also being invested in improving road surfaces and pavements around Monaghan. This is particularly necessary after the extreme weather conditions over the Christmas period. I know that the local authorities are eager to ensure that drivers and pedestrians are as safe as possible as they go about their business. To this end, a further €180,000 euro has been allocated for road safety works across the county.” “In addition to this, €20.4 million has been granted for road works across County Cavan. A significant chunk of this – nearly €9.4 million – will be spent on construction of the Belturbet Bypass. This is a very important project for the region and it’s been a long time coming. I am delighted that funding has been provided to commence work this year.” “Overall, Cavan County Council is granted €1.3 million for minor road repairs and upgrades, as well improvements to pavements this year. It’s also getting an allocation of €227,000 for safety works.” |
