Works, which will be undertaken to assist in its rehabilitation will include: Disconnecting a 50m long 500mm diameter concrete pipe (culvert) from the Carrickrobin Stream and replacing with a 25m 1100mm PTFE pipe to aid fish passage and provide 54m of new open stream with riffles pools and glides. This new channel will be reconnected into the existing river channel at the roadside culvert. Bank revetment and instream morphology using ecological engineering techniques will be incorporated in the new channel.
