Work on the N73 realignment scheme between Clogher Cross and Waterdyke is now complete.

The safety, connectivity, and travel experience for road users have all been considerably improved by the works.

Located approximately midway along the N73 between Mallow and Mitchelstown, the project involved the construction of approximately 2.8km of new road and cycle track, incorporating both online widening and offline construction of a new carriageway.

Mayor of County of Cork, Cllr Danny Collins, said: "The realignment of the N73 road is a testament to the commitment of Cork County Council. Funded by TII, with contractor Sorensen Civil Engineering and technical advisors Roughan & O’Donovan, this realignment has enhanced safety and fostered efficient transportation in the region. The wider carriageway, improved visibility, and the dedicated cycle track will facilitate seamless travel, mitigate congestion, and promote sustainable modes of transportation. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the development of North County Cork's infrastructure, ensuring a safer and more connected future for all."
