Killarney

<h3>The much awaited left-turn only from the Lewis Road junction and N22 Bypass Road will be completed by the end of the summer.</h3>
That is according to a Kerry County Council official who was responding to a query from Cllr Brendan Cronin.
 Cronin asked for an update on the project at Wednesday&rsquo;s Killarney Municipal District meeting: &ldquo;following repeated requests over many years&rdquo;.
 The Council official replied: &ldquo;Tender documents are currently being prepared to procure a contractor to carry out these works as the first of a number of safety improvement phases on the N22 at the Lewis Road and Kilcummin Road junctions. The works to modify Lewis Road junction to left-out only will be carried out in Q3 2022.&rdquo;
 When completed traffic leaving Lewis Road will no longer be allowed to cross the Bypass Road. Instead motorists will have to turn left and make a U-turn at the Cleeney Roundabout.
 The same applies to traffic exiting the Kilcummin Road where motorists will have to make their way to the Michael D O&rsquo;Shea Roundabout at the sports centre before U-turning.
 A yet to be specified lane divider will prevent illegal U-turns between each junction.
