Muckross Road repairs to start in September

Badly needed repair works to Muckross Road will commence in September.

Kerry County Council said that the works will go to tender by the end of June. It will then revert back to Transport Infrastructure Ireland for final signing off and once a contractor is appointed it is hoped that works will begin in September of this year. Cllr Maura Healy Rae has been pushing for the roads update for months.

“As you will be aware the state of the road at Muckross is in complete disrepair,” she said. “I know that this has been very frustrating for locals who have had to endure the poor road surface for a significant amount of time and indeed is a very poor impression for the many visitors who come to Killarney and visit the many amenities in this area.”

Kerry County Council will continue to carry out maintenance until full resurfacing works begin in September.
