Route selection for Cork-Limerick motorway to kickstart stalled planning

The existing Cork to Limerick Road at Ballyhea in North Cork.

The selection of route options for the M20 Cork to Limerick motorway and the Northern Relief Road in Mallow will allow more planning applications for housing and commercial properties to be processed.

A number of months ago, a hold was put on dealing with all planning permissions along a wide corridor of the proposed M20 and along a designated corridor for the Mallow bypass.
