The proposed scheme will consist of a new 3m wide shared footpath aimed at enhancing safety for vulnerable road users. This will reduce the width of the existing carriageway.  The works will include:

• Provision of improved pedestrian footpath from McGraths Service Station to Clonbalt Housing Estate
• Improvements to existing drainage networks where necessary

• All associated site works
