Kimmins Meets Department over A1 Safety Improvements

Sinn Fein MLA Liz Kimmins had a meeting with the Department for Infrastructure this week over the A1 safety improvements project.

 The Newry and Armagh MLA stated: 

“This week I met with the Department for Infrastructure to seek an update on the progress made so far on the A1 safety improvements.

 “The Department indicated that the business case and other preparatory works are underway and should be finalised later this year.

 “The indicative timeline for this scheme remains at 5 years once funding is committed to.

 “This will feel like a long time for those who have waited long enough already for such a hazardous road to be amended.

“It’s essential that this project faces no unnecessary delays and is delivered as soon as possible.

 “I will continue to campaign for this vital project, so that this road that has caused countless tragedies becomes safer for all.”
