Farranfore to Killarney route to be revealed within weeks
By Sean Moriarty
The preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road could go on public display as early as the end of this month.
Paul Curry of the National Road Design Office in Castleisland, told Wednesday’s Killarney Municipal District meeting that initial route surveys have been completed by his office.
Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.
Documents prepared by Mr Curry’s office have been submitted to senior Transport Infrastructure Ireland engineers for peer review.
Once they release the documents the new road layout will go on public display in the Great Southern Killarney within “the next four to five weeks”, Mr Curry told Wednesday’s meeting.
“We hope to have it on display in the hotel by the tail end of November,” he said. “This will allow interpersonal interaction.”
The project will then move to design stage early next year. This stage will also include increased interaction with landowners and residents affected by the project.
