The project involves the upgrading of approximately 4.1 km of the N56 to a Type 3 Single Carriageway, typically with 2 x 3.0 m carriageway, 2 x 0.5 m hardstrip and verges of approximately 2.0 to 8.0 m and 2.5 m cycletrack, part of which utilises lengths of the existing N56 carriageway where the proposed alignment for the new carriageway is off-line.

The road scheme will comprise of both online widening and realignment, with approximately 2 100 m of the scheme being constructed off-line.

The project also involves pavement overlay of approximately 0.6 km of the N56, with the construction of 2.5 m wide cycletrack adjacent to the existing road.
