Work To Begin On €30 Million Latteragh Bends Project In North Tipperary.

Work on a major multi-million euro roads project, in north Tipperary, is set to get underway in the coming weeks, following the appointment of a contractor to carry out the works.

Tipperary County Council has confirmed that Wills Bros Ltd has been appointed as the main contractor for the Latteragh Bends Road Realignment Project, which will see a dangerous stretch of road between Thurles and Nenagh finally upgraded.

The €30 million scheme will involve the realignment and improvement of a 4.3km section of the R498 regional road, between Nenagh and Thurles, at Latteragh, situated around 7km south-east of the M7 Nenagh Bypass.

According to the council, the contractor is now mobilising and setting up the site compound. Hedge cutting is due to begin next week, with traffic management measures to follow as full construction ramps up.

More than 30 local landowners were involved in compulsory purchase agreements to allow the scheme to proceed.

Funding for the project has been provided by the Department of Transport, which has allocated €20 million towards the works. A further €4 million has been set aside to cover design fees, consultancy, and landowner compensation.

The project aims to improve safety and traffic flow on one of the county’s key regional routes, long identified as a collision-prone stretch.
