A key road upgrade scheme in the Fingal area of Dublin has been boosted with a major appointment.
SIAC Construction Ltd has struck a deal to deliver the Hole in the Wall Road / Mayne Road Junction Upgrade scheme.
The project involves the realignment of the junctions of the Mayne Road with the Hole in the Wall Road and the Drumnigh Road. It will create a much safer road layout for all road users by providing improved sightlines and new signalised crossing facilities, as well as new footpaths and cycleways and road pavement reconstruction.
Flood management measures and new water supply network infrastructure is also included.
Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Eoghan O'Brien said: "Infrastructure upgrades such as the Hole in the Wall Road/Mayne Road Junction Upgrade scheme are necessary for supporting the development and growth of the area. These upgrades will provide a safer and sustainable infrastructure for the road with new footpaths and cycleways that will create a supportable environment for all users."
Construction started on 10 February with a 14-month work programme.
Welcoming the start of construction, Director of Planning and Strategic Infrastructure Matthew McAleese added: "I am delighted to see this project, which is being co-funded by Fingal County Council and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government under the Rebuilding Ireland (Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund) LIHAF initiative. With the ongoing construction of badly needed new homes in the area, developments such as these are timely to ensure the future sustainable development of the area."
