I see an estimate that it will cut the travel time from Blarney to Patrickswell by 16 mins. In a horse and cart maybe. Surely it will cut at least double off that
All over the papers today. Link Blarney and patrickswell by motorway. Assume bypass buttevant, Charleville and Rourke cross banogue. Estimated that current road is thousands of cars daily beyond capacity as it is
Their figures show that an average of 16,361 vehicles travel between Blarney and Mallow every day, 3,500 more than than that sectionâs capacity, while 14,047 drive between Croom and Patrickswell, 2,447 more than what the stretch can carry.
Limerick should be careful what it wishes for here. Long term this has all the potential to operate to the detriment of Limerick as capital, health, education and other expenditure and upgrades will be shelved on the basis of the proximity to Cork.
