JUST over €12m has been
allocated to Donegal County Council under the 2010
National Roads Allocations.
Donegal North East Fianna Fail TD Niall Blaney said
the allocation was a significant investment in
Donegal’s road infrastructure.
“In the allocation to Donegal County Council,
€10,242,300 is for the improvement of roads and
€1,777,100 is for maintenance.
“In particular I would like to welcome the
allocation of €770,000 for the N14/N15 to A5 link
road and €1.5m for improvement works in the Kilverry
to Colehill road," said Deputy Blaney.
“The funding for the N14/N15 will be used for design
on the realignment works from the Pluck Roundabout
in Letterkenny to Lifford and is part of the
Government plan for the A5 road from Dublin to
Derry.
“The €1.5m for the Kilverry to Colehill road on the
N13 is a continuation of improvement works. This is
a very significant allocation and will go a long way
towards the necessary improvements on a section of
that road.
“I will continue to work with my colleague, the
Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey TD, to ensure
that Donegal road projects continue to be advanced
as soon as is possible,” added Deputy Blaney. |
