M4 Kinnegad Enfield Kilcock Motorway Surfacing Works
Posted By: Enda O'Keeffe - 27 Jun 2006
Eurolink, the scheme concessionaire, is replacing some confined sections of the motorway surfacing along the length of the M4 Kinnegad Enfield Kilcock Motorway. While the surfacing has been certified complaint with National Roads Authority (NRA) standards, Eurolink is concerned with the effect of observed chip loss on the life of these pavement sections and is therefore undertaking remedial work at this early stage. It is only the wearing course, or topmost layer of the road surfacing, that is affected by these works.
Work was completed over the past week on the eastern half of the scheme and it is proposed to carry out the repair work on the western half within the next two to three weeks, subject to NRA approval. This work will involve some isolated lane closures, but traffic delays aren’t expected and Eurolink intends carrying out the repairs with minimal disruption to road users.
