Slea Head traffic set to resume

TRAFFIC on the spectacular Slea Head Drive is expected to be moving again in about three weeks, following the construction of a temporary stretch of road, Kerry County Council confirmed yesterday.

A 350-metre stretch is to be built about 20 metres inside the section where a major landslide occurred at the weekend near Dunquin.

Acting county manager Tom Curran said work would commence straight away and the Slea Head loop, one of the country’s most popular tourist routes, would be reopened in three to four weeks.
