The latest management report from Tipperary County Council reveals that works on the N74 Fr Matthew Street in Tipperary town are expected to commence in July or August of this year.
As initially proposed the scheme included a significant upgrade to the public realm through the centre of Tipperary town between Church Street and Cashel Road.
The Part 8 for the scheme was passed in January 2021 and the Municipal District Council decided not to proceed with the N24 Main Street element of the scheme.
The Fr Mathew Street element of the scheme is now at final design stage.
Funding has been now been made available to enable the works to commence in July/August 2022.
A second road project that would see a realignment on the N24 at Ballydrehid is impacted by the design works on the N24 Cahir to Limerick Junction project which is expected to be published no later than May this year.
A Feasibility report on possible improvements at ballydrehid was submitted to TII by TC.
The matter is now paused until the final route selected in the N24 Cahir to Limerick Junction project is identified in order to decide how this scheme at Ballydrehid will be delivered.
