A32 Kilgortnaleague

Need for Scheme

The A32 between Omagh and Enniskillen is classified as a Trunk Road within the Regional Strategic Transport Network. Improvements to the route were included within the Investment Delivery Plan (IDP) for Roads (2008).

On the existing route, which serves as the link between Omagh and the South West Acute Hospital Emergency Department in Enniskillen, overtaking opportunities are limited and as a result, journey times tend to be unpredictable.

Proposed Scheme

The proposed scheme at Kilgortnaleague is one of a number of the improvement schemes to modern single carriageway standards with improved overtaking opportunities on the A32 route between Omagh and Enniskillen.

DfI Roads Western Division has commissioned the Department's Design and Consultancy Services with its partner Amey, to undertake a combined Stage 1 and 2 scheme assessment report in relation to proposals to improve the existing A32 Mossfield Road, located between Irvinestown and Enniskillen, County Fermanagh. The study area being considered in this assessment is known as Kilgortnaleague, is located approximately 8.5km north of Enniskillen town centre. The scheme is approximately 2km in length, and is partly offline and includes a new bridge structure over the Ballycassidy River.

• Combined SAR 1&2 (Preferred Route) approved March 2016.
• Gateway 0 Approval granted March 2016.
• Scheme estimate of £6.9m (March 2016).
