Proposed Development 
Westmeath County Council are proposing to develop a hard-surfaced shared footpath/cycling route, along the northern and southern side of the Ardmore Road, which will be segregated from the vehicular carriageway. Public lighting installed along this route, together with a controlled crossing point at its eastern end. The total scheme length is approximately 425m. The works will generally consist of the following project elements: 

•    Excavation of soils and subsoils
•    Disposal of surplus soil off-site to an authorised waste facility
•    Culvert drain
•    Importation, placement and compaction of hardcore (crushed stone)
•    Installation of 50mm macadam surfacing
•    Ducting for and provision of public lighting

•   Works to the junction of Ardmore Hills estate road entrance

•    Tree removal
•    Plantings (new field boundaries with fencing and a compensatory hedge and treeline)
•    Noise and general construction disturbance during daytime hours
