I welcome the announcement that Co. Louth is to receive a substantial allocation for local roads. Over €2.21m has been allocated by the National Roads Authority to Louth County Council for road improvements and maintenance. Of this allocation €1million has been earmarked for the section of the N53 Barronstown to Hackballscross which will see major improvements in this stretch of road which carries a very heavy volume of cross-border traffic. A further €224,000 has been allocated for the Barronstown to Newtownbalregan stretch of the N53.
At Blakestown Cross road improvements to the tune of €600,000 will be carried out. This is a very busy junction where the R165 meets the main Dublin-Derry route on the N52. Work will also take place on the Ardee by-pass .
€260,000 has been allocated to Louth County Council for Maintenance Works which include ordinary maintenance, lighting and winter maintenance.
