Developer levy to pay for link routes to Tralee ring road

A NEW levy is to be imposed on developers in Tralee to help pay for link routes to a €137 million ring road planned for the town.

The Government will be covering the cost of the 13.5 kilometre ring road, but local contributions will be necessary for the link roads, amounting to €4 million.

Work on the long-awaited ring road, which will encircle Tralee and provide relief from chronic traffic congestion, is not due to start for a number of years because of funding cutbacks.
