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.
It is proposed to improve the existing N28 from the Bloomfield Interchange with the N25 South Ring Road to Ringaskiddy Village. The improved road will have a greater capacity to cater for the high traffic volumes.
The need for the N28 Cork to Ringaskiddy project has been highlighted in both the National Development Plan and the National Needs Study.
