Inner Relief Road at moves to Compulsory Purchase Order stage
The long-awaited inner relief road project at Bohereen na Gabhann in Killarney has taken a significant step forward, moving to the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) stage.
At a recent Killarney Municipal District meeting, Councillor Niall Kelleher inquired about the latest developments on the project.
In response, a council official confirmed that Kerry County Council is now proceeding with the next phase of the CPO process, which involves publishing a Confirmation Notice. This notice is expected to be published before the end of January 2025.
The proposed inner relief road aims to alleviate traffic congestion in the town centre by linking New Street and High Street via Bohereen na Gabhann This new route would enable traffic on New Street to access the top of High Street via Monsignor O'Flaherty Road, bypassing the congested town centre.
The project, which was first unveiled in January 2022 by the Killarney Advertiser, is subject to land acquisition by Kerry County Council and the necessary planning permissions.
At the time a Council official said: "The proposed Inner Relief Road linking Bohereen na Gabhann would significantly reduce peak hour traffic flows on High Street and New Road. This is recommended, subject to satisfactory junction designs, including at High Street and St. Anne's Road."
Under the proposed plan, it could be possible to get from New Street to the New Road/Rock Road junction seamlessly.
