Text
The works at Four Winds and Newton Park are developer-led works associated with planning approval for neighbouring residential developments. The scope of the works includes widening the existing roundabout; increasing capacity from one lane to two running lanes on all approaches; making alterations to footways; and enhancing pedestrian facilities and road signage. In overseeing the works, my Department must ensure that its statutory responsibilities for the public road network are properly discharged, including that the works be carried out safely and in accordance with the relevant approvals and requirements. Owing to the complexity of the scheme, a series of lane and road closures has been necessary in order to facilitate safely the programme of works over a six- to seven-month period. As with all developer-led construction, the timescale for completion is dependent on the developer. The scheme is currently programmed for completion in January 2027, however.
