Louth councillor calls for improved traffic management on Dublin Road

Louth's Councillor Sionainn McCann has called for improved traffic management measures to be introduced on the Dublin Road, citing increased congestion and poor infrastructure.

The Sinn Féin councillor said “The Dublin Road from the motorway exit is the main arterial route for vehicles entering the town. Also along that route we have the DKIT and the hospital not to mention the residential housing estates and various small businesses.

“I have been contacted by a number of residents who are experiencing increased delays since the schools re-opened and the volume of traffic on the already busy road has intensified causing congestion especially at peak times. That congestion can run right down to Hill Street Bridge where there are always delays around the turn off into Stapleton Place.”

Cllr McCann added,  “we need a proper traffic management plan for this whole area and I will be seeking a traffic review as a matter of urgency to look at how we can improve the flow of traffic throughout this area.”
