Protestors to bring Macroom bypass traffic to standstill over lack of slip-road access to N22

Locals to protest on Saturday at 'huge injustice' at loss of access to the N22 at Carrigaphooka

The new 8km section of the bypass will open on August 11.

A vehicle protest will impact traffic on the Macroom bypass this Saturday as anger brews over lack of slip-road access to the new N22, described as a “huge injustice” for Mid-Cork.

From 9am, a cavalcade of trucks, tractors, and other vehicles is expected to travel slowly along the bypass from Carrigaphooka to Coolcower and through Macroom to highlight the loss of access to the N22 at Carrigaphooka.
