N4 Carrick-on-Shannon to Dromod Project

Public Display No. 3

Presentation of Preferred Transport Solution

Leitrim County Council, in partnership with Roscommon County Council, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the Department of Transport are committed to developing the N4 Carrick-on-Shannon to Dromod Project. Arup are the appointed Technical Advisors to advance the project through the planning and design phases. The project is being managed by the Roscommon National Regional Roads Office on behalf of Leitrim County Council. The project is a priority investment in the Government’s National Development Plan 2021-2030.

The N4 national primary road, from Dublin to Sligo, is a strategic corridor which connects Dublin to the northwest and border counties. The section of the N4 under consideration passes through both rural and urban environments, is approximately 21km long and extends from Drumharlow townland west of Carrick-on-Shannon to Faulties townland east of Aghamore.

A public consultation on the feasible Alternatives and Options proposed for the project was held in Q2 2021 and significant public feedback was received. Following consideration of the public feedback and detailed appraisal, a Preferred Transport Solution has been identified that includes a combination of active travel measures for walking and cycling, improvements to public transport, demand management measures and an upgrade of existing road infrastructure along with new road infrastructure for the communities along this section of the N4 transport corridor.
