Pat the Cope Gallagher MEP is confident that substantial funding will shortly be approved by the National Roads Authority for major works on the Dungloe to Glenties Road.
The first stage of the project will be the realignment of the road from Cloughwally to Boyoughter including the removal of the Meenacarn bends.
The works will be carried out by contract on behalf of the Council.
All of the preparatory word including design and land procurement has been carried out by the Donegal National Roads Design Office.
