Council to ask TII about upgrading M9

Kildare County Council is to ask Transport Infrastructure Ireland to undertake a technical survey on upgrading the M9 motorway to help alleviate traffic issues in Kilcullen and Sunnyhill, writes Brian Byrne.

This follows acceptance of a motion by Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer at yesterday's meeting of the Kildare-Newbridge MD.

A slightly amended text of the motion is as follows: That this council write to Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), requesting a technical survey be carried out to investigate proposals to upgrade the M9 and M7 or at Kinneagh Hill to construct new slipways West bound to access Newbridge, and East bound to transition from the M7 onto the M9 to remove Newbridge traffic that currently has no option but to come through Kilcullen, Sunnyhill Road and Athgarvan to reach Newbridge.
