Ratoath Rd/Reilly's Bridge - planning granted
 

ABP granted permission for the Reilly's Bridge proposal on 27 July 2011. Full details available here-

now let's just hope there's the money to build it!

At about €4.5m (subject to final design and tender), yes they can afford it.

Unfortunately the government seems to be taking the easy options of massacring the capital budget far more than the day-to-day spending, so it would not be prudent to assume that anything is safe.

Work seems to have begun on this, the old building next to the level crossing has been demolished.

I suppose any rail improvements which make life easier in a direct fashion for road users will keep their cash :D

Wouldn't be so sure of that, haven't seen any further evidence of any work by the local authority. The sooner it's completed, the better, my train this morning was delayed by 5 minutes at the crossing, presumably due to road traffic making it difficult to close.

It appears that the project will not now commence until 2013. For details see-
