Public consultation begins today on another stage of a potentially major upgrade of the N24 in west Tipperary.
Tipperary County Council is leading plans for the Cahir to Limerick Junction Project, which could lead to the long awaited construction of a bypass of Tipp Town.
The project looks at the stretch of the N24 taking in the villages of Bansha, Limerick Junction, Monard and Oola, as well as Tipp Town.
The plans are currently at the second phase – Option Selection, which will examine feasible options to address problems identified in Phase 1.
Those studies found problems on the road with “limited width”, and its passage through multiple built up areas.
