|  | | The Fermoy-Mitchelstown Road project involves the construction of 16 km of dualcarriageway from Fermoy to Mitchelstown together with associated accommodation works and consequential works necessary in order to complete the scheme (see Location Maps, Aerial Mapping and Longitudinal Sections in Volume 2).Within that section, access to and from the Fermoy-Mitchelstown Road will be restricted to three key grade separated junctions at Moorepark, Ballybeg and Carrigane. | | View Details |
|  | | The Fermoy Town Enhancement Scheme proposes the following works for Fermoy Town, from Duntahane Cross Roads to Fermoy Bridge.
The proposed works include:
* Redevelopment of Pearse Square
* New kerbing and footpaths/cycleways and new road signs, road markings and public lighting.
* Undergrounding of overhead services as required.

|  | | Mitchelstown is 30 miles from Cork City on the N8. It is set at the foothills of the Galtee, Ballyhoura and Knockmealdown Mountains in the country side of the Blackwater Valley. | | View Details. |
|  | | The N8 Rathcormac / Fermoy Bypass forms part of the strategically important national primary route connecting the cities of Cork and Dublin. The NRA has recognised the need to provide a high quality route
between Cork and Dublin which would remove a significant volume of long distance traffic passing through towns and villages along the existing N8 route. It is therefore proposed to construct a new
national primary route to motorway standards, separate from the existing N8, between Watergrasshill and Moorepark in County Cork. This part of the new route will be tolled and named the M8. | | View Details. |
|  | | A 2 plus 1 Road consists of two lanes in one direction of travel and one lane in the opposite direction. The two-lane section, which provides a safe overtaking zone, alternates with a one-lane section at intervals of 2km approximately. The traffic streams are separated by a safety barrier system, which prevents overtaking manoeuvres on the one-lane section. Right turning movements will be at controlled junctions and a reduction of head on collisions is anticipated. | | View Details |
|  | | This Forms part of the Atlantic Corridor.This project is part of the Government’s stated policy in Transport 21 which prioritises the building of an N15 N17 N18 N20 N25 Atlantic Corridor linking Letterkenny to Waterford via Sligo, Tuam, Ennis, Limerick, Mallow & Cork. | | View Details |
|  | | The necessity for a Northern Ring Road is seen as an important strategic infrastructural requirement to complete the existing road network around Cork city. It is hoped that the completion of the project will reduce traffic congestion, improve access and redress the development and infrastructural imbalance towards the northern part of the City. The Cork Area Strategic Plan(CASP) 2001-2020 also highlights the importance of the completion of the Northern Ring Road as part of the
strategic and spatial development of the Greater Cork Area.

|  | | The construction of the N25 Carrigtohill - Midleton Road Improvement Scheme is seen as an important strategic infrastructural requirement to improve the road network in the vicinity of Carrigtohill and Midleton. The completion of the project will reduce traffic congestion, improve access and lead to increased levels of safety for road users on the N25.

|  | | This project involved the provision of 11 kms of dual carriageway to motorway standard, running eastward from the Dunkettle Roundabout (end of Glanmire Bypass) to the existing dual carriageway east of Carrigtwohill. The road was officially opened to traffic in December 1997 at a total estimated cost of €52.54 million.

|  | | The Kinsale Road Roundabout is a five-arm signalised junction and is located approximately 3 km south of Cork City at the junction of the N25 South Ring Road, the N27 Airport Road/Frankfield Road and the South City Link Road. The South Ring Road has been constructed on a phased basis over the last 10-12 years. The completion of the downstream crossing, the Jack Lynch Tunnel, has led to a marked increase in traffic using the South Ring Road which in turn has led to increased delays at the Kinsale Road Roundabout. The South Ring Road is currently a dual 2 lane carriageway with a number of at-grade and grade-separated interchanges located along its length. | | View Details |
|  | | This scheme is currently at Constraints Study Stage. It is hoped to schedule the first public consultation of the scheme for the third quarter of this year. | | View Details |
|  | | The proposed N25 South Ring Road, Sarsfield Road to Bandon Road, Road Improvement Scheme includes the grade separation of the Bandon Road and Sarsfield Road Roundabouts, the repositioning of the Sarsfield Road Roundabout, the construction of parallel link roads between the Roundabouts, slip roads to and from the SouthRing Road and all ancillary works associated therewith.

|  | | The N28 is a National Primary Road which links Cork City to Ringaskiddy and is situated on a peninsula located on the south-east of Cork city. There are a number of major industries located in the Ringaskiddy area including a deep water port for Cork, roll-on roll-off ferry terminal and the headquarters for the Irish Naval Service. Ringaskiddy has experienced rapid industrial growth in the past and it is apparent that this major expansion will continue for the foreseeable future. Recent developments in the Ringaskiddy area include the Centocor Plant at Barnaheely and the completion of the National Maritime College at Ringaskiddy.
