New Northern Ring Road route proposals to go on display tonight

THOUSANDS of people will get the chance tonight and tomorrow night to see alterations to route proposals for the most expensive highway ever planned for Cork.

The Northern Ring Road, which is an infrastructural necessity if Cork is to experience further economic growth, is being designed to connect the Glanmire bypass with roads leading to West and south-west Cork, and will thus complete a route around the city.

Last year, a number of colour-coordinated routes were chosen by the design team, but alterations have since been made.
