Tender description

The N86 Lispole to Ballynasare Lower and Ballygarret to Camp Road Improvement Scheme comprises 2 discrete sections which are separated by a distance of approximately 18 km. (i) Lispole to Ballynasare Lower. This section of the scheme is approximately 2.7 km in length and commences at a point east of Lispole Village in the townland of Graigue, continues eastwards through the townlands of Garrynadur, Banoge South and Ballynasare Beg, and terminates in the townland of Ballynasare Lower. The scheme will link with the existing footpath network at its western terminus. The section lies completely within a Gaeltecht Area. (ii) Ballygarret to Camp. This section of the scheme is approximately 1.3 km in length and extends from the townland of Ballygarret in the west to Camp Village in the townland of Ballinknockane in the east. The scheme will link with the existing footpath network in Camp Village. The cross section of the proposed road is a Type 3 single carriageway with a 1-way cycleway/pedestrian facility at each side. The scheme comprises, for the most part, on-line widening/realignment, save for a 1.15 km off-line section commencing at Garrynadur, which is required to remove a particularly poor existing alignment, including a ‘hair-pin’ bend. The lands affected by the proposed scheme generally comprise agricultural lands, with some residential properties also located along the scheme.
