West Cavan Councillor, John Paul Feeley has confirmed that an
allocation of € 65,000 has been made by Cavan County Council to
complete works on the Thornhill Road (L1000) in 2012.
‘The much needed work will address the significant deterioration in
the condition in this road in the past two years and bring it up to an
acceptable standard for residents and the local community who use this
road,’
Located just outside Blacklion and close to the N16 part of the road
runs the course of the old Sligo to Dublin Coach Road of the 1700’s
and is therefore of historic significance.
Councillor Feeley confirmed that the work involved would include
patching and strengthening and surface dressing of the entire route.
