State of roads in Carrickmacross

What is the deal with the state of the roads in Carrick, are they ever going to be fixed properly ?, especially the Ardee road stretch from McCormack Interiors to the entrance to Highfield and the road coming into the town from Dundalk, starting from before the bridge all the way to Lidl.

The roads were fine until they were redug up, whoever patched them up left the roads in some mess.

I seen enough a few days ago when whoever was out filling potholes on the bend for the Kingscourt road off the Magheross road, so much for using tar, they were filling them with cement :eek:

I hope they can lay sewage pipes a hell of a lot better than they can resurface a road.

Why have they been late away with the state they have left the roads in

P& S seem to have been digging up Carrick for the past 2 years, hopefully they'll finish this year

Have they found what they're looking for yet

my opinion is ... P + S should stop immediately with whatever they are looking for. The Rockdaniel road looks like a mine field and rumors are that it has to be resurfaced completely. Guess who is going to pay for this !!! :mad:

There at it again and is it true the main street is to be dug up next ?

It's a disgrace what state they have left / currently leaving the roads in.

For the second time this year I'm faced with having to get into town via the Shercock road as the Kingscourt road is under siege with traffic lights and jams. Nothing like a bit of warning either - I was going into town on Tuesday morning only to meet traffic sitting out the Kingscourt Road as far as where the circus was - a bit of signage up for a few days beforehand might have helped. The other thing that doesn't help are the light-breakers - not moving when the lights are red is bad, but when they're green and there's still a pile of thick F**ckers coming at you is infuriating!

Tell me about it, the way they are set up on the Ardee road outside the furniture shop, now either people don't know or they are just breaking the red light knowingly but if you have a red light there that is not just for stopping you going up the hill into town but also for the Kingscourt road.

As for businesses, especially the shop on the Magheross road, all these works must be having a damaging effect on them.
