Further delay to village bypass plan

THE planned N21 bypass of Adare village faces further delays as Limerick County Council has to change the route it opted for four years ago because of recent alterations in national road policy.

A route was chosen following lengthy consultations with residents in the village and its environs.

A spokesman for Limerick County Council said yesterday: “Changes in national infrastructural policy along with the recent announcement of the Emerging Preferred Route for the M20 Cork to Limerick motorway scheme have led to the re-evaluation of the original preferred route. The current review, once completed, will result in a preferred route being published in May.”
