Binnies/Nicholas O’Dwyer JV on behalf of Louth County Council invite residents, businesses and all interested parties to attend a Public Consultation Day for the Dundalk & Ardee Flood Relief Scheme.

Now have your say on the emerging options to inform the identification and selection of a preferred scheme. We value all feedback and greatly appreciate any time spent communicating your views.

The project involves two scheme areas; Dundalk & Blackrock and Ardee. Dundalk is a historic town that lies on the Castletown River, flowing into Dundalk Bay on the east coast of Ireland. It has a strong architectural and cultural heritage, forming part of ‘Ireland’s Ancient East’. Blackrock is a seaside village that forms part of the Dundalk metropolitan area and draws visitors to its beach overlooking Dundalk Bay and the Cooley Mountains. Ardee is a small town on the banks of the River Dee which is home to a number of medieval buildings and has undergone continuous development for several decades. It is a small project being run in tandem with Dundalk to provide benefits to all of the local communities as soon as possible

In August 2020, Binnies (B) and Nicholas O’Dwyer (NOD) were appointed by Louth County Council to develop a flood relief scheme to protect Dundalk, Blackrock and Ardee which is technically, socially, environmentally and economically acceptable to protect the areas of Dundalk, Blackrock and Ardee.

The works likely to take place in all areas are hard defences (walls & embankments), improvement of channel conveyance (maintenance & culvert upgrade), and floodplain storage measures.

Following hydrological and hydraulic assessment of the River Catchments in Ardee, the project team have identified the flood risk in Ardee and developed a number of emerging options to mitigate the flood risk.
