Donegal County Council PLANNING and DEVELOPMENT Donegal County Council PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS 2001-2019 Nature and Extent of proposed development in accordance with Part 8 requirements of the above Regulations. (Available for public inspection) Carrigart Bridge deck refurbishment, bridge widening and associated works Donegal County Council Road Design Office County House Lifford July 2019 Co. Donegal 1.0 Introduction Carrigart Bridge is a twin span bridge which carries the R245 over the Loughnambraddan Burn in the townlands of Umlagh and Carrigart within the town of Carrigart within the Letterkenny Municipal District. The bridge has deteriorated and bridge deck has been structurally assessed to have a reduced live load capacity. It is proposed to replace the deck with precast concrete slabs. It is also proposed to extend the bridge with precast concrete box culverts on the upstream side to provide additional road width and a new footway over the bridge and its approaches. The report describes the proposed works and it sets out the principle features of the proposed project as required by the Local Government Planning and Development Regulation 2001-2019. 2.0 Nature of the Works The project will include the following elements; - a) General repairs to the bridge substructure as required. b) Removal of the existing substandard bridge deck and bearing shelf. Replacement with a new in-situ concrete bridge bearing shelf and new precast concrete deck. c) Extension of the bridge on the upstream side with precast concrete box culverts and precast concrete wing walls. d) Local widening of the road in an easterly direction. e) Construction of 164m of footway tying into the existing footway to the south of the bridge and extending 34m north of the bridge. f) Construction of verges, masonry parapets, fences and associated works. g) All existing services within the bridge will relocated within the bridge. h) Materials excavated on site will be re-used where possible any unsuitable material will be transported to a licensed waste facility. The site location plan is attached in Appendix A. 3.0 Extent of Works Carrigart Bridge is located on the R-245-20, within Carrigart town in the Letterkenny Municipal District. The overall extents of the works are shown on drawing number DR1-P8-01. 4.0 Principal features The existing bridge is a twin span composite structure with masonry abutments and a steel beam with concrete infill deck. The existing bridge exhibits a number of signs of distress and a recent structural assessment determined the bridge has a reduced load bearing capacity. The proposed bridge works will be undertaken in stages to minimise disruption to the public. Phase 1 of the works will involve damming and over-pumping the stream and the installation of the box culvert extension. This will involve excavation and placing of a concrete foundation, creation of a temporary crane platform, placing the box culvert extension, backfilling and construction of a temporary road the box culvert extension. On completion of the phase 1 works traffic will be directed over the temporary bridge under signals to facilitate the phase two works. Phase 2 of the works will involve the demolition of the existing bridge deck and bearing shelf. The bearing shelf will be reinstated with in-situ concrete, the new precast concrete deck will be installed, existing utilities will be relocated into the new bridge, parapets and rubbing strip constructed and then the road reinstated. Phase 3 will include the placing of fill for the road widening, the construction of verges and footways, fencing, construction of walls, road construction and surface overlays as required. This phase may be undertaken intermittently and as required during the construction project. All parapet walls shall be of masonry construction and shall have a castellated coping. All other finishes shall be similar to what exists on site. Post and rail fencing shall be provided to protect the side slopes which shall be finished with grass seed. Both the road and footways shall be finished with bound bituminous material. The details of the proposed Bridge Replacement are shown in drawing numbers DR1- P8-01 to DR1-P8-008 attached in Appendix C. 5.0 Ecological assessment A stage 1 Natura Impact Screening Assessment has identified that the Sheephaven Bay SAC (site code 1190) is located 75m downstream of Carrigart Bridge and that the Loughnambraddan Burn is a direct connector to the site. However having considered the qualifying interests of that natura site, the assessment has determined that given the scope and nature of the works and the separation between the works and the qualifying interests, the proposed project are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Sheephaven Bay SAC. A copy of the Natura Impact Screening Assessment report is attached in Appendix E. In accordance with Article 120(1)(b)(i) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) Donegal County Council has concluded, based on a preliminary examination of the nature, size and location of the development, that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not required. A copy of the EIA pre- screening assessment is attached in Appendix F. 6.0 List of Drawings Drawing No. Title Scale (@A3) DR1-P8-01 Site Extents 1:750 DR1-P8-02 Existing layout 1:750 DR1-P8-03 Existing Bridge 1:50 & 1:250 DR1-P8-04 Proposed Scheme Overview 1:750 DR1-P8-05 A to E Road Cross sections AA to EE 1:50 DR1-P8-06 Proposed Bridge Works 1:150 DR1-P8-07 Proposed bridge long sections 1:50 DR1-P8-08 Proposed bridge cross sections 1:50 7.0 Appendices Appendix A Location plan Appendix B Planning Notice Appendix C Scheme Drawings Appendix D Existing Bridge Photos Appendix E Screening for appropriate assessment Appendix F Pre-screening for EIA Appendix A Location Plan Location Plan showing the proposed development site Appendix B Planning Notice COMHAIRLE CONTAE DHÚN NA nGALL NA hACHTANNA UM PLEANÁIL AGUS FORBAIRT, 2000-2019 NA RIALACHÁIN UM PLEANÁIL AGUS FORBAIRT, 2001-2019 ALT 81 FÓGRA DE BHUN ALT 81, CUID 8 DE NA RIALACHÁIN THUAS, MAIDIR LE FORBAIRT BEARTAITHE AG COMHAIRLE CONTAE DHÚN NA nGALL TABHAIR FAOI DEARA go bhfuil sé beartaithe ag Comhairle Contae Dhún na nGall cuir le droichead Charraig Airt ag síneadh trasna Loch na mBradán agus athchóiriú a dhéanamh ar an droichead sin comh maith le 164m de chosán a chuir síos i gCarraig Airt agus Iolach, i gCeantar Bardas Litir Ceannainn de réir an sceidil thíos.

  • Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002
    THE Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002 Welcome to our first edition of The Creeslough View, which you will find is filled with memorabilia, nostalgia, heritage and local history, - the story of life presented by members of our community. The purpose of the Creeslough View is to give the locals an opportunity to document stories, poems, and old photographs to remind us now and again of our past on which we build our future. Because so much happens throughout the year in Creeslough it was felt it would be a shame not to document it. It is hoped the Creeslough View will enable smaller clubs and voluntary organisations to show off their achievements throughout the year. The social history of this locality has changed dramatically, but all the more is the need to record and acknowledge for tomorrow’s world, the spirit and common good, the close knit and dependence on others as a community, and the many characters who sustained it during the difficult times. We would like to thank each and every one of you that contributed to the Creeslough View. For the photographs and the stories, and a special thankyou to the sponsors for their generous support. I must also thank John Doak for all his work in preparing the material for printing. Because we received so much material for this edition, it was impossible to include it all. But rest assured it will be printed in the next edition next year. Again happy Christmas and thank you for purchasing the Creeslough View Declan Breslin 1 THE Muckish Mountain BY CHARLIE GALLAGHER "Muckish proud with her Muckish today has the same end a sand quarry.

File No S.2791 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENTBY BERNARDMcGINLEY, Creeslough, CO. Donegal. I was born in Creeslough, County Donegal, in 1894, where I received my early education and lived all wy life. In 1917 I was asked by James McNulty to join the Irish Volunteer organisation. McNulty had been in America prior to this time and was associated with an Irish national movement there and I understand he was asked to return to Ireland and organise units of the Irish Volunteers and also to get Sinn Féin Clubs going in the area. After my conversation with McNulty, and having discussed the matter with some of my pals, a number of us decided to join the Irish Volunteers. I also became a member of the local Sinn Féin Club. Although I was aware of the existence of the I.R.B. (Irish Republican Brotherhood) organisation, I was not asked to join and consequently never became a member. At this period and up to 1919 the Volunteers were organised on a Companyor Parish basis. In 1918 I was appointed Lieutenant in the Creeslough Company. Just about this time we were ordered to prepare for a General Election. The Sinn Féin organisation had selected Mr. Joseph Sweeney from Burtonport as their candidate for West Donegal.

  • Your Donegal Family
    YOUR DONEGAL FAMILY A GUIDE TO GENEALOGY SOURCES CULTURE DIVISION, DONEGAL COUNTY COUNCIL Donegal County Museum Collection The information contained in this publication was correct at the time of going to print. May 2020 A GUIDE TO TRACING YOUR DONEGAL ANCESTORS | 3 Genealogy is the study of one’s ancestors or family history and is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Genealogy makes history come alive because when people learn about their ancestors, they are able to make connections to historical events. Family History is the biographical research into your ancestors. The aim is typically to produce a well-documented narrative history, of interest to family members and perhaps future generations. It involves putting flesh on the skeleton of what is produced by genealogy and involves the study of the historical circumstances and geographical situation in which ancestors lived. As custodians of the collective memory of County Donegal, genealogy/ family history resources are an important Culture Division service. This booklet was produced by the Library, Archives and Museum Services of the Culture Division, Donegal County Council to provide a brief introduction to resources available within these services and to other resources and agencies that can help to guide researchers in tracing their Donegal family tree. While Donegal County Library, Donegal County Archives and the Donegal County Museum are happy to provide guidance and assistance, they are not genealogical institutions and in general they cannot conduct detailed research for individuals. A GUIDE TO TRACING YOUR DONEGAL ANCESTORS | 3 Beginning your Research o begin, try to establish as accurately and completely as possible the basic Tgenealogical facts of as many of your near relatives as you can: .
