N70 KILLORGLIN TO TRALEE WORKS
Councillor Damian Quigg has welcomed the start of works on the N70 Killorglin to Tralee Road. The local Sinn Féin Cllr said that this was long overdue and was in the utmost need of repair.=94 After making many representations about this particular section of road from St James Church Killorglin to beyond Steelroe. I am glad to see that a start has finally been made on it.=94 The project will cost three and a half million euros and will take eight months to complete, it will see a brand new overlay incorporating public footpaths and public lighting also. Cllr Quigg said that this was one of a number of key, significant, projects relating to roads infrastructure that has happened in the Killorglin area in the lifetime of this current County Council term and that he is delighted to be associated with representations made that have brought these projects to fruition and that the next focus will be on the Killarney road where an overlay, footpath, and public lighting scheme will be designed bringing all three main roads in and out of Killorglin up to a very modern, and high standard.
