    Preferred route corridor information available here: http://www.kerrycoco.ie/en/allservices/roads/n22farranforetokillarneyrdimprovementscheme/

    This was in the local media in 2015 as local TD (now retired) Tom Fleming expressed disappointment that the scheme wasn't included in the government's Capital Investment Plan.
    A KERRY TD has described the omission of the Killarney to Farranfore N22 proposed road development from the Government’s recently announced €42bn investment plan, as a severe blow for the county.

    Kerry South Independent TD, Tom Fleming, has described the decision as a massive setback to the infrastructural needs of the county.

    Deputy Fleming said that this road is a transport hub and the preliminary preparations for the plan and design of the new road has being ongoing for the past 15 years at an approximate cost of €1.5 million. These monies have been expended by Kerry County Council and the National Roads Authority.

    Deputy Fleming has drawn attention to this matter to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe T.D at a meeting of the Dail Committee of Transport and Communications on Wednesday and called on the Minister to have the road included in a revised plan.

    Minister Donohoe stated that he would bring the request back to cabinet for reconsideration.

    Deputy Fleming has stated that is is hugely disappointing that such a vital project for County Kerry is excluded from the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Plan 2016-2021 but that he will press ahead to have it included in a revised package.

    The accesses to Killarney from the new bypass seem to be very far out. Also, will the old bypass be renumbered as the N72?

    The current 'bypass' has been swallowed up by the town so building it quite a bit out is no harm.

    I would assume the current BP will be renumbered N72 if this scheme goes ahead.

    This is another scheme that will soon be at the stage of being needed immediately. Traffic every day around Killarney on both the N22 relief road and the N72 relief road (by Lidl) is absolutely chronic and anytime there's anything on like the Races on the Muckross Road, there is gridlock in the town centre.

    This + the N71 link are in bad need of being built, priority #1 for Kerry after the Macroom & Adare BPs

    I'm assume you mean only after the Dart Underground, Metro North, Luas Completion, Metro South, East Dublin Bypass etc have been completed. That is what you suggest on the other infrastructure threads ?

    So around 2060 they should get down the list to the 2nd Killarney bypass, once the real priorities all over the country have been completed.

    Killarney is not bypassed. Killarney has a relief road, like Castlebar, which if your point were to stand, is getting it's 2nd bypass over MN, DU etc.

    Killarney has a relief road which picks people up in the town, and drops them at an incredibly congested roundabout in the town. It also has 5 incredibly busy junctions which right turns are very difficult to make, all of which are simply at grade T junctions.

    I said priority #1 for Kerry when the 2 projects Kerry needs (Macroom, Adare) are done.

    Building PT in Dublin is one thing, schemes must be done outside of Dublin too.

    I can't be the only one that sees the benefits of Killarney's large amount of tourists enjoying the town and spending money in the town rather frustrated sitting in traffic.

    It also bypasses Farranfore, the narrow and busy section of road between Killarney and Farranfore that has about 200 entrances and 15 junctions on it, the two congested roundabouts at either end of Killarney.

    It would shave 15/20 minutes off Tralee-Cork at peak times, and coupled with the Macroom BP will be a big boost for Kerry.

    More of a local scheme with local traffic. Literally about 2 dozen schemes far more important than this, sorry Healy Raes. Not the rest of the countries fault they destroyed the initial bypass with development.
    From a strategic viewpoint bypasses of NCWest and Abbeyfeale should be far more pressing but they're not on hallowed Kerry soil.

    Yeah, and Kerry politicians tend to view the Macroom bypass as a Kerry issue because the N22 is the main road from Cork to Kerry. The construction is taking place in Cork but Kerry is a major beneficiary.

    Maybe you misread my comment Frosty. The Macroom bypass construction is taking place in Cork, but it's a major improvement to the main Cork-Kerry road. Therefore, even though the construction is taking place in Cork, Kerry politicians view it as a major gain for Kerry, and have pushed hard for it to happen. Similarly, the N22 Farranfore to Killarney is a major Kerry issue. It's all part of improving the N22.

    Some other fella said Macroom is on the border so its bypass is supported in Kerry unlike a bypass for Abbeyfeale which is presumably too far away :pac:

    In the 90s and 00s, large swathes of the N21/N22 were improved within Kerry, and Castleisland, Tralee bypassed. Now the focus is on the stretches of the above road outside Kerry, in particular:

    N21 Abbeyfeale-Adare
    N21 Adare bypass
    N22 Macroom-Ballyvourney
    N22 Macroom-Ovens.

    In addition to the Killarney bypass in this thread. Unfortunately in relation to the above 4 there is more impetus from the Kerry side to get them done. Limerick TDs have barely no interest in roads bar Kieran O'Donnell (senator) interest in the M20

    FB post from local Killarney Councillor Michael Gleeson:
    It seems that consideration is being given to the development of an outer Relief Road from Lissivigeen area to somewhere on the Tralee Road. There is nothing more specific at this stage. If it proceeds it will be a shorter version of the road proposed in 2004 that was to go from Lissivigeen to Farranfore.

    Let's build a 2nd relief road cos the first one worked out so well.

    The N22 Killarney-Farranfore project was the solution to the issue and should be advanced when funding is available. Not some half baked mess that'll have the same problems as before and doesn't solve the capacity issues between Killarney and Farranfore

    The first one initially worked well, then it was ruined by pedestrian crossings and traffic lights as well as too many junctions (and bad junctions) at places like Daly's for example.

    It's not just that. The roundabouts are severe chokepoints just cos of traffic volume. There are pedestrian crossings along the route because it was built too close to the town to function as a bypass. There are no traffic light controlled junctions along the route.

    An outer bypass would shift all through traffic to a new route, and an N71 link and possibly an N72 link would be useful for diverting traffic away from the town. Because of Killarney's narrow streets and lack of decent road infrastructure I would've said that it needs both the existing relief road and the new bypass.

    Castlebar, Limerick, Letterkenny, Drogheda, Clonmel, Dungarvan, Mallow are examples of why this kind of "bypass" simply doesn't work.

    I can see the Healy Raes pushing this hard as soon as a shovel hits the ground in Macroom. Congestion within Killarney during the summer months is at breaking point and the Killarney-Farranfore stretch of the N22 is nothing short of a disgrace. I can't remember the last time I used fourth gear along that stretch. No overtaking opportunities due to massive volumes of accesses and poor road alignment combined with heavy traffic.

    Kerry County Council have begun appraisal work on the N22 Killarney-Farranfore scheme to determine if it's suitable for consideration for prioritisation of funding in the National Development Plan. This will be conducted during 2018 and TII will decide if it merits funding.

    http://www.radiokerry.ie/work-proposed-killarney-bypass-back-underway/

    Hopefully it will tick the boxes given Killarney is a giant traffic jam already and the summer hasn't begun yet. That's before you consider that utter ****heap of a road between Killarney and Farranfore and the mess that is Farranfore itself. Hopefully it's 200m (160m in practice) spend in conjunction with the massive 2bn spend on reenacting the film Field of Dreams in road terms that's ongoing in the northwest.

    Marno the northwest has been neglected in terms of road building for years. The road from Donegal to Dublin is an absolute disgrace. Donegal relies solely on the road network for goods and public transport, we have no trains or ports up here, unlike Cork.
    I've vast experience of all roads in Ireland and im not saying Cork is not in bad need of new roads, but please lay off on slating the crumbs that the northwest is receiving.

    I see the route as proposed in 2004 has been factored in the Killarney Local Area Plan, showing it as far as Lawlor's Cross (it wouldn't surprise me if they built this part and let the dirty ****heap from there to Farranfore as is given the current attitude to where road funding goes in the country).

    The N71 link road is also included along the old proposed route starting with the upgrade of the Loreto Road and diverging after a short while

    Also, no word on when the appraisal of this scheme will begin to see if it merits funding under the National Development Plan. Of the 24 schemes eligible, 3 have been activated in full (Ballybofey/Stranorlar bypass, Letterkenny Relief Road, Letterkenny-Lifford) and 5 are at the appraisal stage (Clontibret-Border, Castleblayney-Ardee, Mullingar-Longford, Carrick on Shannon-Dromod and Tobercurry-Collooney).

    Would they not have been better off, instead of developing a new N22 part of the Traless bypass, to have used (some of) that money to dual the N21 to Castleisland, and then built a proper N23 (which needs to be done anyway)?

    That way, all traffic out of Tralee heading for Limerick or Killarney goes out the (dualled) N21 and then branches at Castleisland.

    It would have been a significant diversion to reroute Killarney-Tralee traffic via Castleisland.

    The original plan back in the 90s was a motorway standard DC from Ballycarthy (where the old N22 meets the N21) in towards Tralee. This plan was dropped for environmental reasons and the new plan involved a separate N22 from Bealagrellagh (where the N22-Tralee bypass link branches from the old N22) to the Tralee bypass.

    It would've made sense to have a decent DC from Tralee out for about 7/8kms with a new N22 branching south from here as there is significant paralleling between the N21 and N22 at present, although the previous environmental issues regarding felling of trees would still exist.

    In the medium term along with this project, the N23 needs realigning from Kerry Airport to the Castleisland bypass. It's a sham of a national primary road, albeit short.

    The N71 link is another important element here.

    https://www.newstalk.com/listen_back/13240/50480/09th_January_2019_-_The_Pat_Kenny_Show_Part_3/

    Mainly focused on traffic and parking, particularly on the lack of the outer bypass (+ N71 link) and the lack of multi storey car parks in the town

    €500k allocated to this project in 2019, which will all be spent on planning & design. Council seem to think this scheme will open in 2031.

    Website launched @ https://n22.kerrycoco.ie/

    Options selection now underway.

    Looks like a link to the N72 west of the town near Fossa is also being looked at in addition to the N71 link. Between the 27km mainline, and the N71 + N72 links, this will wind up being quite a substantial project - https://www.killarneyadvertiser.ie/bypass-at-least-10-years-away-road-engineer-confirms/
