Works given green light to reduce traffic jams in Cork

Work on one of Cork's busiest roads has been given the green light in a bid to ease the daily commute around Mahon Point.
After 10 years of traffic jams, a major revamp of the road network in the area has been confirmed.
The multi million euro investment is set to commence in July and its hoped the work will improve traffic for the 3,000 workers currently commuting daily to the City Gate Business Park.
An extra lane will be added to the Mahon Link Road from the Mater Hospital junction to the Shopping center entrance and will be a welcome addition to motorists who spend time sitting in traffic there currently.
