    Phase 3 Surveys

    Following the announcement of the Preferred Option in February 2025, the Project Liaison Officer has continued to engage with landowners and representatives across the scheme, and this process will continue for the coming months.

    The Project Team would like to advise that, as we progress the project through Phase 3 – Design and Environmental Evaluation, we will be moving forward with a full suite of site surveys in the coming months, including but not limited to Environmental, Ground Investigation and Topographical Surveys.

    Where necessary, the Project Team will be in contact with relevant landowners to arrange these surveys.

    Am I the only person noticing a big increase in serious RTC's on the 52km section of the current N4 that has not been upgraded, in the past couple of years? There's seems to be a bad crash every few weeks with serious injuries or fatalities being mentioned more and more. It might be that I'm being biased and therefore noticing the reports/news stories more, because I have a vested interest in the upgrade of the N4 but I don't think that is fully the case.

    Before the NDP in 2018, TII conducted research into the stretches of the national road network with the highest rates of head on collisions and the stretch between Mullingar and Rooskey was one of the top ones (Cork-Limerick, Ballincollig-Farranfore and Ardee-Emyvale were the other ones that came out on top).

    With ever increasing volumes on the stretch it’s not surprising it’s quite noticeable

    It's very congested with a constant flow of traffic, have no figures but the % of HGVs seems very high. Not uncommon to see 3 or 4 trucks bunched up together. It's a decent road in most parts but hate that section (narrow) between Longford and Edgeworthstown and those small villages in Westmeath are a pain
