Cllr Donal Coyle has requested the Local Authority to urgently replace the white lines which he says have totally disappeared off the road at the entrance to Tobin’s Filling Station on Letterkenny’s Port Road. He was told at Tuesday’s Municipal District meeting that as part of a National Roads resurfacing programme an application was submitted to the Dept. of Transport for funding to do a job on this section of road. No funding was received for these works this year but the application will be resubmitted for 2026. The upgrading of these Road markings were deferred in the hope of receiving this funding. Area Roads Manager David McIlwaine said there are limited funds available for Road Markings in the MD and the cost-effective method of upgrading would be to wait for the full Port Road surfacing works to be done. In the short term the road markings will be replaced in the area at Tobin’s. Cllr Coyle said the works there were urgent due to high risk of collisions at a very busy road crossing.
