20-year plan to ease Little Island traffic congestion

Cork County Council has taken preliminary steps in developing a 20-year transportation plan for the region’s biggest industrial hub — which is also a residential area.

The village of Little Island, on the outskirts of Cork city and close to the Jack Lynch Tunnel, is a weekday traffic bottleneck.

The council announced it has “commenced the process of developing a transportation strategy” for Little Island, “so as to identify the various means by which access to and from the area can operate on a sustainable basis”.
