Fears town bypass has been put on hold ‘in favour of other routes’

FEARS that a badly needed ring road for Tralee are being long-fingered by the National Roads Authority (NRA) have been voiced by Kerry county engineer Tom Curran.

Initially, it was hoped that work on the €60m bypass would start later this year, but that is not going to happen.

Mr Curran said the main priority of both the Government and the NRA at this stage seemed to be to get work on four major inter-urban routes of Dublin and the western corridor completed.
