Householders in the Dromore area of Letterkenny are to be consulted following plans for a new link road onto the dual carriageway on the outskirts of the Cathedral Town.
Householders yesterday received letters outlining the preferred route of the new road.
The Ten-T Priority Route will be 300 metres wide in places and will pass through various residential areas.
Donegal county councillors have been told that the effects or impacts of this development on property owners will “vary from property to property.”
They have also been told that the TEN-T Land Liaison Team have made every effort to write to property owners within the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor and offered separate private meetings in advance of the public consultations.
Public consultations on the project already took place in April and May last year and they presented shortlisted route options for the project.
This project involves the improvement of three sections of the National Road or TEN-T Network.
The sections to be improved are;
· Section 1 – N15/N13 Ballybofey/Stranorlar Urban Region,
· Section 2 – N56/N13 Letterkenny to Manorcunningham and
· Section 3 – N14 Manorcunningham to Lifford / Strabane / A5 Link
It has now emerged that preferred routes for each section of the project has now been identified.
It is intended to present the emerging preferred route corridor at public consultation events, to take place over the following dates and venues:
· Tuesday, 19th February 2019
Lifford County House, Lifford
· Wednesday, 20th February 2019
Radisson Hotel, Letterkenny
· Thursday, 21st February 2019
Jackson’s Hotel, Ballybofey
