Flood damaged roads & bridges

Current situation:

• Rocky Crossing on Barrington West Road sustained damage during the storms as a result of the March 2022 Natural Disaster.
• The crossing is currently CLOSED due to this damage.
• Engineering investigations are being procured to assess the damage and prepare a design solution.
• Contactor procurement is most likely to occur in 2023 to target restoration by Q3 2023.

Future situation:

Long term strategies to undertake permanent repairs to the crossing will require geotechnical and civil designs, appointment of suitably qualified contractors and then works delivery. This process is currently in progress and is estimated to take anywhere up to 12 months based on environmental controls, and contractor and materials availability.

This work is being undertaken as essential public asset restoration through the provisions of the natural disaster guidelines.

Current situation:

• The Den Road sustained a series of serious landslips during the March 2021, February and July 2022 Natural Disasters. Since these floods a significant amount of work has occurred on the road in an effort to maintain access.
• In July 2022, while construction works were underway, another significant landslip slip occurred further up the road on private property. As a result, although the original Construction works have now been completed, access along The Den road is now significantly limited.
• Access along The Den Road for vehicles over 4T is not advisable.

Future situation: 

• The new landslip is beyond of the Council’s Zone of Management so alternate solutions are currently being investigated by local land-owners.
