€140m bypass set to cut travel times for motorists
The €140 million bypass is expected to take 16,000 vehicles a day from Monasterevin, a notorious bottleneck for motorists commuting between Dublin and Cork and reduce travel at peak times by up to 30 minutes.
The upgrade will cut out delays and tailbacks which are a constant blight for motorists on the busy route, most noticeably at weekends and when the Curragh hosts an event.
