Submissions sought on planned new road in Kilkenny

Submissions are being sought from the public in relation to the construction of a new road, the South – North Access Road in Ferrybank, South Kilkenny.

The road is to be approximately 940m in length, from the end of the existing access road serving the Clover Meadows Housing Estate to the end of the existing access road serving the Abbeygate Housing estate/Abbeygate Shopping Centre.

This to create a continuous road link between the existing Belmont Road Roundabout on the Belmont Road (R711) to the existing Abbeygate Roundabout on the Abbey Road.
