Landowners on €1bn superhighway route face disruption

LANDOWNERS are facing significant disruption after the selection of a preferred route for a proposed €1 billion superhighway between Cork and Limerick.

The red route, which runs west of Charleville and Croom, terminating at Patrickswell, is the preferred option for the main section of the Limerick to Charleville stretch of the 90km M20 motorway.

The M20 is part of the ambitious Atlantic Corridor Road Project designed to link Letterkenny to Waterford via Sligo, Tuam, Ennis, Limerick, Mallow and Cork.
