Local T.D. and Minister for Food and Horticulture, Trevor Sargent has welcomed the news that this week the pedestrian lights at Drynam interchange are now fully operational.
The lights were switched on this week folowing ongoing correspondence between Minister Sargent and Mr. Eugene Begley of Albany Homes. Fingal County Council and the ESB were also involved in the protracted works. Final difficulties were ironed out when all the interested parties had a site meeting last month.
Traffic Solutions Ltd. issued a new certification and tested all components prior to the ESB finally completeing the connections at the traffic lights. Work was also done by Albany Homes with regard to tactile paving on the side of the road for the visually impaired.
The Minister said , “Thankfully we have reached a conclusion to this ongoing saga ensuring improved safety to Holywell residents crossing this extremely busy road.”
