Tweak needed on Belcarra bridge exit

THE exit from the Belcarra bridge which is part of the new N5 project requires tweaking, with cars having to move out towards the right coming off it.

Going from Belcarra into Castlebar town, there is no issue. But on the return journey, drivers are having to steer way across the road, Councillor Cyril Burke told a municipal district meeting.

"You are driving along and all of a sudden coming off the bridge you have to manoeuvre all to the right," he explained. "You are pushed over."

It needed to be looked at.

Senior engineer Ann Sweeney said it was a temporary arrangement but the council has asked the contractors to look at it.
