Works to repair gulley at Hibernia to be undertaken
Works to repair the blocked gulley under the A2 at Hibernia are due to commence in the next few weeks. This should help to ease the flooding situation on The A2 at times of heavy rain.
Highways also report that the large outfall of water from the pipe opposite 'Modena View' on the B19 Dreemskerry Road has been investigated and advise that remedial work is planned; works cannot take place as yet, however, due to the level of saturation which has made the surrounding land unstable. In the meantime, the road surface continues to deteriorate and the Commissioners advise that care is taken when using this section of highway. The Commissioners concerns with the damage to the fabric of this section of highway have been conveyed to the DoI.
The Commissioners have also requested that DoI attend to the damage to the road from the A15 Hibernia Road down to Ballaglass Glen Car Park. The section from the junction down to the tram line has suffered particular damage along its edges. There has been no advice from DoI as to when repair works will commence.
