The existing masonry bridge structure in Farranyharpy/Doonflin Lower townlands will also be widened by approximately six metres in a southerly direction.

Works will be carried out to extend an existing culvert in Ballygreighan using concrete box culverts.

Improvement will also be made to minor junctions with the realigned N59 National Secondary Road along the route.

Other ancillary works will also be undertaken.
