What is Happening Now?

This project is currently at Phase 2 Option Selection. The purpose of Phase 2 is to evaluate and appraise in further detail the route corridor options, to identify the emerging preferred route corridor option, in line with the TII project management guidelines. The project is presented in three sections for evaluation:

• Section 1 – Crossbarry to Bandon
• Section 2 – Bandon to Clonakilty, with a possible link to Enniskeane
• Section 3 – Ballinascarthy or Clonakilty to Timoleague
• Link from Clonakilty to Inchydoney Island

A multi criteria analysis of the route corridor options for each section will be undertaken in line with the Department of Transport, Transport Appraisal Framework (TAF) and TII Project Appraisal Guidelines (PAG).
