N17/N18 Project Update Since the circula on of the  Q1 2015 newsle er the gen‐ eral public will have seen  growing evidence of site  ac vity as the Contractors  open up work on a number  of fronts along the route of  the scheme. The design and  construc on works remain  on programme and there  have been 116,812 accident  free hours worked on the  Project up to the 31st March  2015. The Contractors have  established their site com‐ pounds and mobilised their  teams with in excess of 600  people having received  Health & Safety induc ons  to date.  The bulk of the work carried  out in Q1 2015 comprised  the seasonal site clearance 

    Parknacappul/Roevehagh   

works including demoli ons,  removal of ditches, hedge‐ rows, trees and other vege‐ ta on. This is now complete  and in addi on most of the  57km mainline has been 

fenced. The establishment of  the fencing has been aug‐ mented by surveying and  preparatory work for site  accesses and thus has al‐ lowed other ac vi es such  as drainage works and some  topsoil strip to commence.  Some early plan ng of trees

and hedging at several loca‐   ons has taken place ahead  of the main earthworks  which will allow the early  plan ng to become estab‐ lished prior to the comple‐ on of the Project. Discus‐ sions between DirectRoute  and U lity providers is ongo‐ ing and some ESB diversion  works have already taken  place.  Amongst other community  ini a ves ins gated in the  period safety officers from  Lagan, Roadbridge and Sisk  took part in a Keep Safe  event in Gort a ended by  5th and 6th class pupils. The  aim of the event was to help  children to become more  aware of personal and home  safety, learn how to react to  dangerous situa ons and to  learn how to stay safe within  the context of road safety.

  We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause. We will endeavour  to keep this disrup on to a minimum and every effort shall be made to minimise the dura on.

OperaƟon

As the work on the project gathers pace the public will encounter increased levels  of traffic management established for the safety of construc on workers and the  general public. DirectRoute would ask that road users observe all signage and re‐ duced speed limits to help ensure the safety of all. Traffic management signage to  alert  public  road  users  has  been  and  will  con nue  to  be  erected  throughout  the  scheme, where the construc on works interact with the exis ng road network.    Temporary road diversions are being constructed adjacent to exis ng roads at the  loca ons of new bridges traversing the new road. These temporary diversions will  allow  two‐way  traffic  to be maintained  while  works  to  construct  bridges  are  pro‐ gressed  thereby  minimising  disrup on  to  road  users.  Examples  include  the  R446  (old N6), the R347 at Owenbristy, the R338 at Gortroe, the L31030 at Tobernavean  and the L6143 at Mahanagh.    Reduced speed limits are being implemented through specific sec ons of road fol‐ lowing  consulta on  with  Galway  County  Council,  An  Garda  Síochána  and  the  Na‐ onal  Roads  Authority.  Examples  include  the  N63  (reduced  locally  to  60kph),  the  R348  (reduced  locally  to  60kph),  the  M6  (reduced  locally  at  the  loca on  of  the  Rathmorrissey Interchange to 80kph, from May 2015), the R339 (reduced locally to  60kph) and the N17 north of Tuam (reduced locally to 60kph).    The exis ng M6 will see the hard shoulder being cordoned off on both sides of the  road at the proposed Rathmorrissey Interchange. This will facilitate construc on  works while ensuring two way traffic is being maintained on the M6. Temporary  vehicle safety barriers shall be installed to close the hard shoulder, ensuring the  safety of road users and construc on personnel. 

Drilling  and  Blas ng  –  Drilling  and  blas ng  of  rock  in  Construc on plant,  these areas shall be carried out to allow the rock to be  drilling and explosive  excavated to the required level for the new road.   equipment, trucks,  jeeps  Structures  –  Construc on  of  new  under  bridges,  over  bridges  and  underpasses  across  the  project.  The  new  structures will span exis ng rivers and roads or provide  access  for  local  landowners  to  their  property.  Works  shall  include  piling  works,  concrete  works,  installa on  of  precast  concrete  beams,  localised    drainage  and  earthworks, surfacing works, etc.  

Construc on plant,  trucks, jeeps, cranes,  concrete trucks and  pumps, piling equip‐ ment  

SAFETY NOTICE Construction activity by its nature exposes people to a higher level of risk than many other activities. DirectRoute have detailed arrangements in place to manage the risks for both those involved in building the project and for the general public. We would ask you to co-operate with us in ensuring the project is delivered as safely as possible. You can help us by:1. 2.

Taking care at the various locations where the project crosses the existing road network and complying with any restrictions imposed under local temporary traffic management arrangements including any reduced speed limits. Keep clear of site. This applies particularly to children for whom construction sites can pose a particular attraction.
