Press Release: November 2024
Sligo County Council has procured Murphy Geospatial Limited to carry out a topographic and hydrographic survey for the N17 Knock to Collooney [Atlantic Economic Corridor] Project. The purpose of the survey is to establish the existing ground levels and topographic features which inform the preliminary design.
The survey area can be viewed at https://n17knockcollooney.ie/topo
Surveys will be completed on the public road, on rivers, and within privately owned lands. Surveys will commence on the 25th of November and are expected to be complete by the end of February 2025.
Letters have issued to all registered owners of lands or property within the survey area informing them of the upcoming survey.
Personnel entering private lands to carry out the survey will be appointed by Sligo County Council as authorised persons under section 78 of the Roads Act 1993 and will carry identification and a copy of their written authorisation which can be produced if requested. All personnel attending site will also be covered by the appropriate insurances which will include for example Public Liability and Employers Liability.
Due to the scale of the survey, and the number of land/property owners involved, it is not possible to facilitate individual access arrangements with land/property owners across the study area.
