COMHAIRLE CONTAE FHINE GALL
FINGAL COUNTY COUNCIL
BALBRIGGAN/SWORDS AREA COMMITTEE MEETING
(Services B – Strategic & General Matters)
THURSDAY 10TH MAY, 2018
ITEM NO. 16
. AI043052
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive with the impending planned opening of the
new access road due later this year what provisions are planned to
alleviate the current heavy traffic and anticipated increase in traffic on the
ring road for the estates accessing out onto the road which include The
Green, Selskar Court, Selskar Road, Newtown Parks, Townparks,
Northcliffe Heights, Kellys Bay Drive and Tower?"
Reply:
The planned immanent opening of the New Barnageeragh Road will see
an increase in traffic volumes passing by the above named estates. It is
anticipated that this will only have a slight/moderate effect on the
efficiency of the junctions accessing onto the Barnageeragh Road. The
situation regarding the effect of the increased traffic volumes, on the
estate junctions, will be kept under review during the initial opening
period. If measures are then deemed necessary to elevate any significant
adverse effects appropriate measures can be proposed at that time. The
opening of the new road will act as a bypass of Skerries Town and the
reduction in through traffic volumes within the town will have significant
positive effect on the environment of the area.
