Funding for safety works at a dangerous crossroads in Carrigaline as well as works on major roads in Cork are expected to be announced by Government on Tuesday. Among what is expected to be an almost €800m overall funding package for national roads, there is set to be over €700m for regional and local roads. Sources said Cork county is to see a grant in the region of €140m for national roads, a significant portion of which is for the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy road. Cork City Council, meanwhile, will be given money to progress projects such as the resurfacing of the N27. Allocations are also expected for progressing bypasses between Midleton and Youghal, Carrigtwohill to Midleton and works on the Mallow Relief Road.
