One of Ireland's most dangerous roads is to be made safer, but the efforts by the National Roads Authority have been criticised as not sufficient.
The road is at Tullyesker, Drogheda, part of the main Dublin-Belfast road which last year claimed the lives of local couple Ms Fiona O'Neill and Mr Dominic Wogan.
They died after a lorry struck their car as it waited in a climbing lane to turn right.
Their death devastated the community and local people began a campaign to have the treacherous road made safe.
Now the NRA is to spend €130.000 on the road and by the end of the summer some of its most dangerous aspects will have been changed.
The three-kilometre stretch includes a climbing lane which will be removed and replaced by road markings forbidding any overtaking and instead allowing for so-called "ghost islands" for motorists turning right.
However Louth TD Mr Fergus O'Dowd says the NRA has not done enough. He says it should have also agreed to move one of those right-hand turns, to Cockle road, because it is lethal and used by truck drivers trying to avoid the Drogheda bottleneck.
Louth County Council confirmed that it remains an objective of the council to have the Cockle road junction moved southwards to the existing Papal Cross junction but that work alone would cost £200,000.
Work will begin in the middle of August and take about two weeks.
Meanwhile An Bord Pleanála has approved the next stage of the motorway that will bypass Dundalk and eventually form part of a non-stop motorway from Dublin Airport to the Border.
