Road works at Balla will greatly improve safety

WORK is progressing steadily on upgrading a dangerous stretch of roadway in Balla.

When the project is completed along the Castlebar Road section, it will greatly improve safety for all road users as well as visitors to the busy Balla Town Park and the nearby Balla Mart.

Residents of the community are delighted to see the works underway and thanks has been extended to Ann Sweeney, senior roads engineer, and the members of Castlebar Municipal District.

However, it will result in further traffic delays at the location while works are ongoing and Mayo County Council has apologised for any inconvenience caused.
