8km Macroom bypass in Co Cork opens

Transport Infrastructure Ireland and Cork County Council say an 8km bypass of Macroom in Co Cork that has opened today will have a transformative effect on the town and on the Cork and Kerry region.
The bypass is part of a €280m project which will see a new dual carriageway built from the Cork and Kerry border, extending for 22km to the east of Macroom.
It is expected that the Macroom bypass will significantly ease traffic congestion, which has blighted the town for years.
