A major redevelopment of the roundabout on the Kilkenny Road in Carlow is expected to be done this year.
Carlow County Council have confirmed that they are confident they will get a quarter of a million Euro in funding from the government to re-work the busy junction.
Recommendations are expected from the consultants next month and it could revert back to a T-junction.
But that’s not a move Councillor John Cassin would favour at the busy junction.
He’s told KCLR news that there’s probably more scope for a ‘better-worked’ roundabout than a return to a T-junction:
“I would prefer to see maybe a bigger roundabout and maybe reconfiguring the road which is possible because the council has purchased a piece of land there”
It’s hoped the work could start by September or October pending approval and be finished before Christmas.
