€97m Tralee bypass set to open mid-August
The long-awaited 13.5km road is aimed at improving traffic flow in and around Kerry’s county town and should reduce journey times considerably, through the diversion of large numbers of commercial vehicles and trucks from the streets.
The bypass intersects existing routes linking Tralee to Killarney, Listowel and Killorglin. It had initially been scheduled for completion in mid-July but delays were caused by a number of factors including the uncovering of deposits of limestone and heavy rainfall last year.
