After years of waiting, plans are finally to be drawn up to build a €100m new road into Cobh, Co Cork, and to replace the only road bridge into the area in order to provide security of movement.

Plans are also being advanced to complete the northern relief road in Midleton and work will get under way next month on construction of the western relief road in Carrigaline.
