As part of the project, Local Road L-80171 was upgraded, incorporating a footpath with public lighting. Road widening and drainage works were completed along approximately 600 metres from the burial ground entrance to the junction with the R161 Navan to Trim Regional Road. Additional works included boundary fencing, landscaping, surface water drainage, an attenuation system, and associated ducting, piping, and other ancillary works.
