A sealed asphaltic concrete surface will be provided on the section between the Dowra road and Convent Avenue with low level public lighting. The finished surface on the section between Convent Avenue and the Ballinamore road may be an unsealed gravel compacted with no public lighting. Safety fences will be erected along the route and shall comprise of 1.2m to 1.4m high stock-proof or timber post and rail fencing. The entire length is approximately 1000m. The scheme will be going out to tender to appoint a contractor in the coming weeks.
