COUNCIL REJECTS CRITICISM OVER CITY ROUNDABOUT WORK

Date Published: 16-Nov-2011

The Director of Services for Roads with Galway City Council is trying to dispel concern about the re-arrangement of the Briarhill roundabout.

Motorists have expressed concern over the past few days about safety at the roundabout and long delays as a result.

Work is underway on removing the roundabout to replace it with a traffic light junction as part of the N6 upgrade scheme through the city.

Traffic is now being diverted through the large roundabout and around a smaller roundabout, with road re-alignment underway.

Director of Services, Ciarán Hayes says he believes that there are no major problems with the work.
