M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy project website goes live

The official project website for the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy motorway scheme went live yesterday morning at 9am.

The website has been developed to provide the public with a clear and accessible source of information on the project as construction progresses. Key features include regular construction updates, project maps, interactive 3D visualisations of major junctions, and dedicated sections outlining the archaeology and ecology associated with the scheme.

The M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy project involves the upgrade of around 12.5km of the N28 national primary route from the N40 South Ring Rd at Bloomfield Interchange to Ringaskiddy.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland is the funding authority for this project which was included in the Government’s Infrastructure and Capital Investment Plan 2016-2021.

The N28 corridor is part of the trans-European transport network, accessing the tier 1 port at Ringaskiddy. This requires that the port is served by a high quality road. The existing N28 is predominantly a single carriageway road and suffers from significant congestion, leading to considerable delays and queuing at peak times at certain locations. The road does not have the capacity to cater for current traffic volumes at peak times or future expected increases in traffic.
