Seven-day drilling plan for flyover projects

DRILLING works on the massive N25 road project in Cork are being extended to seven days a week.

Engineers overseeing the construction of two flyovers on the city’s busy ring road also announced plans last night to start installing beams for the first flyover next week. This work will be done overnight to minimise disruption to traffic.

In their latest update on the €60 million initiative to build flyovers at both the Bandon and Sarsfield Road roundabouts, engineers said they intended to extend the working hours on the project from this weekend to ensure they hit their July 2013 completion date.
