The commencement of construction for the River Deel (Crossmolina) Flood Relief Scheme by OPW’s own labour force has been announced by Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works, Kevin Moran.
The River Deel (Crossmolina) Flood Relief Scheme includes a diversion channel upstream of Crossmolina town, which will redirect flood waters away from the town, directly to the flood plains of Lough Conn. The scheme’s design was completed by Ryan Hanley Engineering and Environmental Consultants who were appointed by the OPW, with project oversight provided by a Steering Group comprising representatives from the OPW and Mayo County Council.
