R232 Road Widening and Bridge Extension at Glenmore

Donegal County Council is seeking suppliers for a road upgrade project on the R232 near Pettigo, approximately 4.7km west of the town. The scheme involves widening and realigning approximately 0.7km of the existing road that crosses the Lough Ultan River at Glenmore, plus extending the existing masonry bridge with a new concrete section to accommodate improved road geometry. Key works include: earthworks and material disposal; overhead telecom service diversion; drainage installation; pavement construction; bridge extension using in-situ concrete and precast arch elements; bridge stonework repair and repointing with partial wingwall removal; temporary watercourse piping; safety barriers and timber fencing; traffic management to maintain road access; and reconnections to farm accesses. The project requires careful coordination due to the narrow, winding alignment, proximity to woodland, and the need to maintain traffic flow on this regional route throughout construction.
