Winter weather delays works on busy Kilkenny road at Danesfort

The dangerous junction at Danesfort

Winter weather is delaying the completion of works on the N10 at Danesfort.
Resurfacing works will not recommence until March, local councillors have been told, as the surface is ‘hot roll asphalt’ and weather conditions need to be dry and mild to ensure a quality finish.

Works began late last year to make safer the stretch of road that has, in the past, been described as ‘a deathtrap.’

These works will include 

  • Tightening in of lane widths to encourage slower traffic speeds. 
  • Creating consistent lane widths throughout the section. 
  • Splinter island at the Bennettsbridge junction. 
  • Tightening in of the junction by new kerbs at the turn off N10 Bennettsbridge junction to encourage slower traffic speeds. 
  • Using some of the mainline carriageway width to create wider hard shoulders which are known to be used by cyclists. 
  • Improved signage and road markings. 
  • New road surface
