Local people in Sligo say they feel a sense of relief after it was announced that a road known as the 'most dangerous' stretch in the country is to be upgraded.

30 white crosses, each one marking a life lost, line the stretch on the N4 between Castlebaldwin and Collooney in Sligo.

€102m in funding has been included in the Government's capital spending plan for the upgrade.

This will include a dual carriageway, roundabouts, road overbridges and a number of new side roads.

The N4 Action Group has campaigned for decades for the road to be made safer.

Spokesperson Bernard Mulhern says the news comes as a relief.
