New Pedestrian Bridge in Killeagh To Ease Road Crossing Dangers on N25
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
Plans for the construc-
tion of a pedestrian bridge close to the N25 in Kil- leagh, costing an estimate €100,000 are to go on dis- play shortly. Cork County Council responding
say they are
to concerns from residents to the east of the village about the dangers of cross- ing the busy road. Eoin McCarthy from
the Authority’s Roads De- partment told the Decem- ber sitting on the East Cork
Municipality on Monday 5 December “residents on the Eastern side of the vil- lage currently have to cross to the opposite side of the road and again the Mount Uniacke road before enter- ing the village.” The design is expected
to go to public consultation before
the public will have
Christmas, where six
weeks to make a submis- sion. He said if planning is
approved and funding is provided by Transport Infrastructure Ireland, fi- nal plans could be before
council as early as spring 2017,
with construction
completed within a matter of weeks.
Municipality chairwom- an Mary Linehan Foley welcomed the said “the
news she project makes
more sense to do it while there is a project at the moment, rather than have them come back again (TII).” Fine
Gael Councillor
Michael Hegarty also wel- comed the news he said “there has never been a proper linkage to the vil- lage
from the Eastern side.”
lor Noel Collins said while he welcomed the
Independent Council- news
he expected businesses in Killeagh would receive a waiver in their commercial rates while the works con- tinue.
“Commercial life in the
village has suffered major financial loss and continues to do so with the prolong- ing of the current develop- ment. With this financial loss Cork County Council should consider a waiver in rates for the commercial life in Killeagh.”
