Halcrow Barry have been commissioned by Sligo County Council to bring the N4 Collooney to Castlebaldwin Road Development Project through Phases 5 to 7 of the Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) Project Management Guidelines. This includes producing a Specimen Design and Contract Document preparation, Tender and Contract Award, as well as Construction Supervision, Handover, Review and Closeout.
The existing N4 between Collooney and Castlebaldwin is approximately 14.5km narrow single carriageway road with restricted opportunities for safe overtaking, numerous junctions and accesses and high volumes of traffic, which has resulted in high collision levels in recent years. The proposed scheme provides a Type 2 Dual Carriageway through a combination of online (2.6km) and offline improvements (12.1km), with a tie-in section of single carriageway to the existing N4. The project includes three at-grade roundabout junctions, four road overbridges, six road underbridges and two river bridges.
