Responsibility for the provision of non-national roads and bridges in its area is a matter for each individual road authority to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State grants provided by my Department. My Department has allocated a specific grant of €750,000 to Carlow County Council this year for the Tullow Relief Road, which includes the provision of a new bridge in Tullow. Progress with the advancement of that project is now a matter for the local authority.
