€250K works underway in Clonmany
29.09.10
A MAJOR €250,000
project is underway in Clonmany to include the
construction of half a mile of new pavements and the
installation of 19 street lights.
The work is taking place along Chapel Glen to the
top of Gaddyduff Road while a significant part of
the Clonmany-Ballyliffin Road will also be
resurfaced.
The run up to Christmas will also see preparation
works for a new pedestrian footbridge near the
Riverside Park area.
Cllr Charlie McConalogue said the work was
long-awaited. He praised the quality of the work
undertaken so far.
“Work has started recently on the completion of the
footpath along Chapel Glen in Clonmany to the top of
the Gaddyduff Road and, in all, over a ½ mile of
footpath will be laid. The job will also see the
erection of 19 street lights along the stretch and
will deliver a much needed amenity for the local
area,” he said. |

“The job sees the
recommencement of work which began on the footpath
in early 2009 before funds ran short. Former
councillor, Denis McGonagle, put a lot of effort
into getting this project off the ground and I am
delighted that the additional funds have been
secured so it can now be followed through to
completion. In all, around €250,000 will be spent on
the footpath and resurfacing of the road.”
The Gleneely-based councillor added: “It will be a
busy Autumn for the village as work will also
commence before Christmas on preparation works for a
new foot bridge to improve safety for pedestrians
particularly those living in Riverside Park.
“Clonmany Development Association have been working
very closely with the Council in progressing this
project and preparation works will begin on site
this Autumn with the objective of having the
footbridge completed next year.” |
