Letterkenny Town Council says it plans to line the Circular Road in the town as quickly as possible, but it may be next year before funding is confirmed.
An application has been made for up to €15,000 to carry out the works, with officials confident that funding will be granted when roads funding is announced next January.
In the meantime, the council says it will try to carry out an interim lining project, in light of councillors’ concerns about safety on the road.
