TII is pleased to announce the grand opening of the new N69 Listowel Bypass. 🚛 The €62m project improves infrastructure in the north Kerry region. The bypass will divert 7,000 vehicles per day away from Listowel town centre, which will greatly enhance infrastructure and accessibility in north Kerry. 🌉 The project included three new roundabout junctions, nineteen structures, including a new bridge spanning the River Feale, a number of culverts and watercourse crossings 👷♂️ The Taoiseach was joined at the official opening by the Cathaoirleach, Chief Executive of Kerry County Council, the Chief Executive of TII and local landowners who facilitated the construction of the road. TII’s Chief Executive, Peter Walsh said: "The official opening of the N69 Listowel Bypass highlights the on-going improvements being made to the national road network in County Kerry by Transport Infrastructure Ireland and Kerry County Council. This project offers road safety benefits as well as improved regional accessibility. There is a quality-of-life improvement for the residents and businesses of Listowel with the reduction of unnecessary through traffic. Reducing unnecessary HGV traffic alone by nearly 50%, whilst supporting those HGV drivers that deliver goods and services throughout country by providing a section of national road built to a modern engineering standard". The designers of the scheme were Jacobs Engineering (Dublin) and the main contractor was Wills Brothers (Mayo). The project was overseen by the Kerry National Roads Office. #Roadopening #Infrastructure #KerryCoCo #Taoiseach #JacobsEngineering #WillsBrothers Simon Harris, Fáilte Ireland, Tourism Ireland

For the past 20 years, Luas has not only transformed Dublin’s transport system but has also made significant strides in enhancing accessibility for residents and visitors to Dublin. Here’s how Luas is making Dublin more accessible: ♿ Inclusive Design: Luas is designed with accessibility in mind. Every tram and station are fully accessible, whether you are a person with disabilities, a parent with a buggy or an elderly passenger you can travel comfortably and independently. 🚉 Level Boarding: All Luas trams are equipped with level boarding. This means there are no steps or gaps between the passenger and the platform. 👨👩👧👦 Family Friendly: Luas provides a safe transport mode for parents with young children with or without buggies. This promotes greater mobility and participation in city life. By providing accessible and reliable public transport, we’re helping to create a Dublin that everyone can enjoy. Luas is committed to continuously improving its services to meet the needs of all passengers as we expand the network in the coming years.

The results of the Macroom Bypass Evaluations have been published by TII. Read more about the key findings and link to the full report in Kelly McCarthy, Senior Transport Planner at TII's post below 👇
Findings are out! Following the opening of the N22 Macroom bypass: - Traffic is down 40%, and medium and heavy goods vehicles down 60% - Footfall is up >25% and visitors are reporting that they are visiting more often – Macroom without heavy traffic is now a more pleasant place to visit and spend time - 12 business owners reported positive or very positive impacts from the bypass on their business, 12 reported no impact, and only one negatively impacted - Businesses are overall happy with removal of the traffic - More children are walking to school - Noise levels are substantially down Loads more in the report! We’ve spent the past two+ years collecting and analysing a vast set of pre-bypass and post-bypass opening data, with the help of Cork County Council. Importantly, we also found no notable increase in cycling, and indications of some induced local traffic into the town – both things to monitor going forward.
