Investment in Kilkenny's road infrastructure has increased 9.5% on last year as the latest figures from the Department of Transport are announced.
Kilkenny will receive €19.5m, which will be invested in restoration and maintenance works this year. This funding includes surfacing of regional and local roads, safety improvement works, drainage, and climate adaptation measures submitted by Kilkenny County Councils Roads Department.
An increased allocation of 100k has been made in respect of Community Involvement Schemes which will greatly assist in works to small local roads around the county.
Also included in the 2025 allocation is an amount of €200,000 to progress the Kilkenny City North Transport Project, being the next phase of the City ring road, from the Castlecomer road to the Freshford road.
An allocation has also been secured for the analysis of Kilkenny City Traffic (Butts Green Junctions) to improve connectivity and traffic movements in the Loughmacask neighbourhood.
