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, in order to identify the emerging preferred corridor in line with the project management structure. The project is presented in sections for evaluation:

• Section 1 – Crossbarry to Bandon
• Section 2 – Bandon to Clonakilty, with a 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 Guidelines (TAF)  and TII Project Appraisal Guidelines (PAG).

Further information on constraints (engineering and environmental) will be collected in Phase 2. The additional information and feedback from consultations will help identify an emerging preferred corridor for each of the three sections of the project.

Public Consultation No. 2 on the route corridor options is taking place between 22^nd April and 2^nd June 2025. See here.
