3rd Public Consultation on the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor now underway.
Offaly County Council, in partnership with Westmeath County Council and in association with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), invites residents of the local area, members of the public and interested parties to participate in a 3rd public consultation on the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor for the N52 Tullamore to Kilbeggan Link Scheme.
The 3rd period of Public Consultation – underway from September 17th to October 29th 2021 – is focused on the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor identified for the scheme. A brochure is being posted to all households within the study area, which includes a map of the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor and a questionnaire to provide you with an opportunity to submit your views at this stage of the design process.
People can also view the project online at www.n52tullamoretokilbeggan.ie
In compliance with current COVID-19 guidelines, limited in-person consultation meetings will be held in the Tullamore Court Hotel on September 20th and 29th, for those who wish to consult with the project team in person. All meetings will be strictly by appointment only and will be limited to two persons per booking. Walk ins will not be possible. As well as in-person meetings, an online consultation room will be available at www.n52tullamoretokilbeggan.ie for the duration of this phase of public consultation. During the 6-week consultation period, the Project Team are available for phone-calls and follow-up online meetings as required.
All project information, including an interactive map of the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor and the consultation questionnaire, will be available to view and submit online. Delivering this project is a priority. The N52 Tullamore to Kilbeggan Road currently operates above capacity, carrying over 14,000 vehicles per day. Safety is compromised by a narrow hard shoulder and many at grade junctions and private access points. The overall aim of the proposed new scheme is to improve connectivity within the Midlands and address existing operational and safety issues. The N52 project team is available to answer any questions and provide information to assist you with your submission.
All project information, including an interactive map of the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor and the consultation questionnaire is available to view and submit online.
