Almost €30 million has been allocated to Donegal County Council for the local and regional roads network in Donegal, with a number of bridges also included in the programme.
Minister Joe Mc Hugh said this afternoon the projects being funded include further works on Cockhill Bridge, and more funding also included for Fintra Bridge and the Tyrconnell Bridge in Donegal Town. Nine other bridges are also being improved.
Funding is also included for the Laghey-Pettigo Road and the Swilly Road and Letterkenny Southern Ring Road.
