Galway Bay fm newsroom – Residents on the R339 near Monivea have until Friday to make submissions on the controversial proposed closure of the road between Cartymore and Cashla.
The County Council has published a notice of intention to close the road to facilitate works on the new Gort to Tuam motorway.
A public meeting on the proposed closure took place is Cashla last month, and attracted more than 100 local residents.
Locals feel that there has been a lack of consultation with them by either the contractors or the council in relation to the planned works.
A petition for the council with over a thousand signatures was gathered in the local community.
The proposed works are being carried out by Sisk, and will involve the tie-in of the new overbridge road with the R339 at both ends.
It’s planned to fully close the stretch between Cartymore and Cashla for 3 weeks around Easter – which local residents and businesses are opposing.
Locals have until this Friday to make submissions on the proposed closure to Galway County Council.
The post Deadline for submissions imminent over controversial Monivea road closure appeared first on Connacht Tribune - Galway City Tribune.
