Wicklow County Council proposes to undertake construction of traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures along a section of R747, Aughrim Road at Lugduff, Tinahely, Co Wicklow. These designs have been developed based on best practice and guidance.

Wicklow County Council is responsible for the procurement and coordination for the design and implementation of this scheme approved by the National Transport Authority (NTA). 

The proposed scheme will consist of footpath widening, junction tightening, provision of pedestrian crossings on R747, L7706 and L3206, drainage, road marking and signage.

The objective of this scheme is to provide high quality, safe facilities for pedestrians to walk to local schools, sports facilities and businesses, thus reducing reliance on private vehicles for short journeys.

Drawings are available for inspection on the Consultation Hub on Wicklow County Council’s website https://www.wicklow.ie/Living/ConsultationHub, and on display in Tinahely Area Office, Tinahely, Co. Wicklow Y14 AY19 from Wednesday 13th August to Wednesday 27th August 2025.
