The public will be able to view the latest progress in the designs for the N24 Cahir towards Limerick road project online from 11am on Friday morning. Public representatives are to be given a briefing at 10am.
Tipperary County Council is progressing the Project in partnership with Limerick City & County Council, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the Department of Transport. ARUP are the technical advisors contracted to get the project through the planning and design phases.
The project is being managed by the Mid West National Road Design Office on behalf of Tipperary County Council. Full details of the project are available on the website at this link here and the project team can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (061) 951000.
The project which covers a route of approximately 37 km is a priority investment in the Government’s National Development Plan. If constructed as designed, the route will include By-passes for Oola, Monard, Limerick Junction, Tipperary Town and Bansha. The legal name of the project is Cahir to Limerick Junction based on legislation passed to initiate the funding – however after assessing the road network the designers proposed an extension to a point at Knockballyfookeen west of Brooks Bridge and the proposed route will link into the existing N24 at Cloghabreedy Roundabout at Junction 10 of the M8.
The latest designs will be available to view on the project website www.n24cahirlimerick.ie from 11am on Friday. It is expected that a planning application will be submitted before the end of 2025 which may take over two years to complete leading to the grant of permission to acquire land and construct the road.. Property owners along corridors for the active travel and road component will be notified by post and invited to consult with the project team, either in person, or by online or telephone meetings.
