A a new road is planned

Road improvement works at the pivotal Murtagh’s Corner area in Naas could start in 2027.

A Naas Municipal District meeting was told that it’s hoped that the tender for the project will be issued before the end of this year.

Naas mayor Bill Clear asked KCC about the “current status” of the project, the progress made to date and the likely timeline for each remaining stage.

According to KCC the design is currently being finalised to incorporate some additional works along Loch Bui and it has applied for funding through the Towns and Cities Regeneration Investment Fund “to deliver the project.”

The completed work will see a new road created linking Newbridge Road, Kilcullen Road and South Main Street with Corban’s Lane.
