N17 Ballindine – Carrownurlar Road Realignment

Project Description

N17 Carrownurlaur to Ballindine Road Scheme consisted of 2.6km of realignment of the N17. It consisted of a mixture of On and Offline works. The online works were complicated by high traffic volumes due to the N17 being a main connection route in the area. 

The offline works included the construction of the proposed road and services corridor through a peat area where up to a 3m dig was required.

Over 113,000 m3 of imported material was required for the project which was hauled by our extensive fleet of trucks.
