Killarney

<h3>The preferred route corridor for the much anticipated Farranfore to Killarney new road scheme is expected to be revealed by the middle of next year.</h3>
Between May 14 and June 25 this year, Kerry County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) under took a public consultation on the project.
 At the time three potential routes were revealed and that will be whittled down to just one by the middle of next year.
 &ldquo;It is proposed to have a Preferred Route Corridor developed by mid-2022, following which the Council will be engaging in further public consultation,&rdquo; a Kerry County Council official told a full meeting of the Council on Monday.
 During November, consultants will carry out traffic counts in the area and the results of this survey will help determine which of the three routes will be selected to go forward to the next phase.
 &ldquo;It is envisaged that the design work on the Preferred Corridor would commence in Q4, 2022 and to have a scheme substantially developed to make an application to An Bord Plean&aacute;la in 2024,&rdquo; added the official.
 The Kerry County Council official was responding to a request for an update on the project made by Cllr Maura Healy-Rae ahead of the meeting.
