The first phase of the Killarney Cycleway network is set be completed by the end of the month.

In February 2021 Kerry County Council revealed an ambitious plan to build four new cycleways within the town centre.
The first of these is to link Cleeney Roundabout with Rock Road and St Anne’s Road. Work on this section has been on-going since the middle of April.
As a result of these works Rock Road has been reduced to one-way during working hours and traffic has been diverted via Lewis Road.
The main portion of the works are due to be completed this week but snagging and landscaping works will continue until sometime in August.
However, the road will revert to two-way traffic from July 19 – alleviating some of the traffic chaos the town has witnessed in the last few weeks.

Other sections like the Deerpark Road, Gaelscoil Road / Chestnut Drive, and Flesk Cycleway will begin construction in due course.
The final sections, including the Upper Lewis Road portion won't see shovels on the ground until at least 2026.
Meanwhile, motorists are being advised to plan their attendance at Saturday’s Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle.

Access to car parking at the  Rock Road and High Sreet car parks will be via the Lewis road from Killarney Bypass on Saturday.
