Mallow bypass plan steps up a gear

A campaign to have plans for a northern bypass of Mallow reactivated by government has moved up a gear.

The ‘Unblock Mallow’s Heart’ campaign highlights the need to unblock its congested streets and is organised by Mallow Representative Group (MRG) — a collaboration of members of Mallow Chamber of Commerce, Mallow Development Partnership, local industry and businesses.

A recent study showed that building a bypass — connecting the main Fermoy and Mitchelstown roads with the Cork-Limerick road — would deliver €90m in economic benefits to the town.
