This junction is west of Mallow on the road to Killarney. To progress the scheme, engineering consultants have been procured by Cork National Roads Office on behalf of Cork County Council through the TII Project Services Framework Lot 1. A previous feasibility report prepared for Cork County Council indicated that the preferred solution would be the construction of a roundabout. A Natura Impact Statement is being prepared for submission to An Bord Pleanála.
