'Handbrake pulled' on road upgrades for Waterford, Tipp and Kilkenny
The N24 Waterford to Cahir scheme was to be 60km in length, from Junction 10 on the M8, north of Cahir, to the southern terminal of the M9 motorway, in South Kilkenny, at a projected cost of €600m-€720m. Picture: Denis Minihane
Plans for a major road upgrade running from Waterford to Cahir in Co Tipperary have stalled due to a lack of funding.
The N24 Waterford to Cahir project had been mentioned in the National Development Plan – Project Ireland 2040 last October but the lead council to the plan – Kilkenny County Council – confirmed on Wednesday morning that money has not been allocated for the works.
