Plans to tackle Little Island gridlock

Plans have been unveiled aiming to ease traffic gridlock in one of the country’s industrial powerhouses — and work should get under way in September.

Cork County Council engineers and consultants Arup have come up with a series of proposals to ease traffic gridlock in Little Island.

They said that the works should be carried out quickly, before Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) starts a €100m upgrade of the nearby Jack Lynch Tunnel/Dunkettle interchange.
