€454m road section opened to traffic
The Cashel-Mitchelstown road, which is the largest infrastructural project to be carried out in Co Tipperary, will shave 15 minutes off the journey time between the capital and Cork.
The 41km dual carriageway, which will remove an estimated 9,500 cars from the towns and villages on the former road, was officially opened yesterday by Minister for State at the Department of Finance Martin Mansergh.
