    It's a shocking indictment of timelines here that that project was flagged in a 2017 submission by DTTAS as being of utmost priority for funding as the road was on the verge of collapse, and it took 7.5 years for it to get to construction.

    Its very much overdue - I had no idea of potential collapse. A horrible narrow bit of extremely bendy road, that basically hugs the edge of the river through its meanders.

    There are two crossings of the river in the plans within a few hundred meters, thats how meandery it is.

    The one regret is that the R498/ToomevaraRoad junction is not being looked at. Its just a flat junction, with no middle bit for a car to sit in whist waiting to turn.

    Does anyone hear have any information on the current status of the new bridge in Ennistymon in Co. Clare? Inner relief road. Blakes corner was to be demolished and a new bridge built 100 metres South of the existing bridge.

    Apparently owners of the properties straight across from the existing bridge are trying every legal action possible to prevent the CPOs.

    Ya I remember reading about a florist who was objecting to the CPO. I just wondered had their been any movement on it since. Still in the courts so based on that. Would be great to see it built

    Land owners received notification today that the Advance Works Contract for site clearance and fencing of lands on the N17 Milltown to Gortnagunned realignment scheme has been awarded and these works are due to commence next Mon 29th Sept and last approximately 7 weeks. Great to see works will finally start on the ground approximately 8 years since the scheme was first proposed! Sadly it comes too late for a local young lad involved in fatal collision just last Friday on this stretch
