Construction work on the proposed upgrade to the road from Killorglin's Laune Bridge to the FEXCO Hub on the Killarney road could commence in 2024 - with a completion date of 2025 subject to the necessary approvals.

This follows a recent Notice of Motion by Fianna Fáil Councillor, Michael Cahill.

“I am delighted that this road upgrade is progressing, if a little slower than we initially expected. This is a large complex project which requires topographical and other investigative surveys, land acquisition, approvals from both An Bórd Pleanála and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) before a tendering process can begin,” Councillor Cahill said.

“I have battled for many years on behalf of the residents who live along this extremely dangerous stretch of roadway and it is gratifying that there is at last, light at the end of the tunnel. The Killarney road residents deserve a new road, footpath and cycleway.”
