The junction in Blackwood, between Prosperous and Allenwood, has long been labelled one of the county’s most notorious black spots.
Kildare County Council has set aside money for a redesign, including work to improve visibility, but it says it doesn’t have enough funding to finish the job.
Kildare North Social Democrats TD Aidan Farrelly says the government must now intervene, and is calling for money to be included in the upcoming Budget.
