Work ‘extremely well advanced’ on Tralee bypass

WORK is “extremely well advanced” on providing a €137 million bypass for traffic-choked Tralee.

Kerry County Council gave the assurance yesterday amid reports the project had been shelved due to government cutbacks.

There were reports in some sections of the media that the proposed 13.5km road, which would encircle much of Tralee, had been mothballed along with other major projects around the country.
