Kerry County Council will commence construction works on new footpaths and cycle lanes on Monday.

The works form part of the overall footpath and cycle lane improvements on Rock Road between the Cleeny Roundabout and the bus and car park on Rock Road.

Specific traffic management systems will be in place to facilitate the construction of these works.

A one-way system will be in place on Rock road for the duration of these works. Entry to Rock road from Cleeny roundabout will be prohibited from 8:00am to 6:30pm daily on weekdays from Wednesday, April 24

Diversion signage will be in place directing traffic via the Bypass to Lewis road for traffic going into the town centre and via Hans Liebherr road to St Margaret’s Road and New Road for Rock road.

All residents and business on Rock road will be contacted in advance of construction works.

“Every effort will be made to keep the disruption to the absolute minimum, however it should be noted that there may be some delays. The works are expected to be complete in three months,” said a council statement.

“Kerry County Council are continuing to enhance the public infrastructure in Killarney and wishes to thank members of the public in advance for their patience and cooperation during these essential works.”
