Ring road to undergo noise level survey

A NOISE survey is to be carried out along Cork’s main ring road to see if traffic noise levels are within EU limits.

The South Ring Road has passed a key traffic volume marker and will be included in a National Roads Authority noise mapping exercise being carried out on some of the country’s busiest main roads.

It is due for completion in June and will recommend methods of tackling areas where noise levels are above the permitted levels introduced by the EU in April.
