Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said he expects construction to begin “very quickly” on the main €206m section of the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy motorway.
Mr Martin was speaking ahead of the official signing by Cork County Council of its contract with building firm Bam to build the section of motorway from Bloomfield interchange on the N40 South Ring Rd to Barnahely, near the Port of Cork.
Work, which is expected to get underway in the coming months, is expected to be completed by summer 2028.
