It’s a part of the city set to see a lot of development in the coming years and Kilkenny county council Director of Roads Tim Butler says its a very important piece of infrastructure.
Thousands of new homes will be built in the Western Environs in the next 10 years with plans for 2 new schools aswell – the ETB and the Gaelscoil.
He expects workers will be on site in the next 2 weeks for the road project which is expected to last about 18 months.
