Funding agreed for busy Mallow roundabout

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly the National Roads Authority), has finally agreed to fund the redevelopment of one of the busiest roundabouts in Co Cork amid fears traffic using it would grind to a halt.

The saga of redeveloping the main roundabout at Mallow has been going on for several months after TII initially refused funding and Cork County Council said it simply did not have the money for it.

The Mallow roundabout connects the Cork, Limerick, Killarney and Fermoy roads and is extremely busy at peak times.
