Cavan County Councillor, John Paul Feeley has welcomed confirmation from Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) that they will provide a pavement scheme to address issues with the N16 in Blacklion in 2019.
“The condition of the N16 near Blacklion has been a matter of serious concern for me for the last number of months given the ongoing significant deterioration in the road surface. This has been particularly acute in the section from Loughan House back to and through the Village of Blacklion. I have highlighted the issue on numerous occasions with Senior Engineering Staff of Cavan County Council and directly with Transport Infrastructure Ireland.’
‘In recent months Cavan County Council have undertaken minor repairs to the road but the surface remains significantly below an acceptable standard for a national primary route and I welcome the fact that TII now ‘has an understanding as to how the location has been overlooked’ and I look forward to see work completed in early 2019.”
“Of course their commitment to provide funding are subject to the usual caveats but nonetheless it is now an issue that is firmly on the agenda and one which I will continue to pursue until all of the issues are dealt with and the N 16 at this location.”
