New road and traffic ramp to be provided in this Kildare town

Work will start soon on a provision of a new road and ramp at Canal View in Sallins.

Cllr Bill Clear urged that the work be undertaken during the school summer holidays “in order to reduce traffic impacts.”

Kildare County Council says a contractor has now been appointed and is expected with construction works expected to begin shortly.

It is estimated that it will take six months to complete the task “although this is subject to coordination with a number of utility service providers.”

The timing of works will minimise traffic disruption where possible.
