Sligo Western Distributor Road

Tweet

The city of Sligo has developed significantly in recent years and further major development is expected in future years. In order to facilitate orderly development and to improve access to Western parts of the city it is proposed to develop the Western Distributor Road linking the Strandhill Road to the new Caltragh Interchange on the Sligo Inner Relief Road. The route for the Western Distributor Road was selected in 2005. Preliminary design has since been prepared for the new road and it is intended to commence the Part 8 planning procedure in the near future.

It is proposed to have a further public consultation and information period between Tuesday 5th and Friday 15th December 2006. Maps showing the preliminary design can be viewed during office hours at the locations shown below;

In addition, two Public Consultation evenings will be held at St. Marys GAA Clubhouse, Ballydoogan on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th December 2006 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm.

Plans will be available for viewing and comment and officials will be available to answer questions.
