Regeneration agencies welcome go-ahead for ‘key’ link road

LIMERICK’S regeneration agencies have welcomed a decision by An Bord Pleanála to grant permission for a new link road to Moyross.

The decision gives the green light to the project, estimated to cost in excess of €40 million, and which was identified as the top priority to redevelop Moyross.

The scheme will involve the provision of a 3km distributor road along the north-west of the city, extending from the Coonagh Roundabout on the N18 northwards to the Knockalisheen Road, as well as a link road to Moyross and an upgrade of a 1.7km stretch of the existing Knockalisheen Road.
