The
N16 road is a
National Primary Route in the
Republic of Ireland. It begins in
County Sligo in the northwest of
Ireland, and ends at
Blacklion,
County Cavan, at the border with
Northern Ireland, where it becomes the
A4 road. At, The N16 is one of the shorter national primary routes, as it forms only part of a major route from Sligo to
Enniskillen and onwards to
Belfast.
Route
The N16 begins at the junction of the
N15 at Cartron,
Sligo, and travels northeast, past the
Institute of Technology, Sligo and onwards, passing above
Glencar lake and entering
County Leitrim.
Manorhamilton is the only town passed through in County Leitrim, until the road reaches
Blacklion in
County Cavan. Across the border the route becomes the
A4 road to
Enniskillen and onwards connecting to
Belfast via the A4 and the M1 motorway.
Compared with many other National Primary routes in Ireland, long sections of the N16 are narrow and twisty which can make travelling on it slow and difficult. In recent years improvements have been made to short sections of it but the geography of many of the areas it passes through (deep valleys and steep hills) places some limits on the improvements that can be made without a wholesale realignment of parts of the route (for example, finding less difficult terrain nearby to build a new road through). Nevertheless many of the deficiencies in the road are attributable to chronic under-investment in a region most of which isn't densely populated, resulting in the route missing out on much of the major improvements which other parts of Ireland's road infrastructure has experienced in recent years.
However a new N16 is planned and is progressing and will become a reality in the next 10 years.
