Contracts have now been signed for a major road improvement project on the R332 in Killbannon.
It will include road realignment from Kilbannon village towards the GAA pitch, as well as a new footpath and cycleway linking St Benin’s National School.
The multi-million euro plans have been on the agenda for almost a decade, due to increasing traffic volumes and local safety concerns.
The works are expected to get underway in the coming weeks, and involve around 1.2km of the road.
