The council is currently awaiting the green light from Transport Infrastructure Ireland to appoint the preferred contractor.

The N69 Listowel Bypass will comprise a 5.95km western and northern bypass of Listowel, linking the N69 Tralee Limerick road north and south of the town centre, and the R553 Ballybunion Road.

Project engineer, Tracy Smith told the recent Listowel MD meeting that after the contractor is appointed, works would be expected to begin early next year.
