Galway Bay fm newsroom - There's light at the end of the tunnel for road safety campaigners at Kilmeen Cross near Loughrea.
Kilmeen Cross Action Group, which is made up of local residents, has been highlighting the growing frustration of locals over what they say is a badly-signposted, dangerous junction.
The Kilmeen Cross junction is the point where the N65 turns off towards Portumna, coming out of Loughrea town.
The County Council has confirmed that improved signage will be installed at the junction in the coming months.
The local authority is also confident that the proposed resurfacing of a 400 meter stretch of the road from the crossroads towards Loughrea will get the go ahead from Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
TII is also examining Garda road traffic incident data to see if public lighting is warranted at the junction.
Councillor Michael Moegie Maher says the measures will save lives.
