The Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Frank O’Flynn, has welcomed the announcement of the county’s latest road improvement scheme, following the appointment of Sorensen Civil Engineering to carry out the N73 Annakisha Road Improvement Scheme. 

The N73 is a popular tourist route between the East and Southwest which also provides access to the N8/M8 to Dublin via Mitchelstown. The scheme, covering a 3.5km section of the N73 National Secondary Route, represents a vital step in improving connectivity and safety along this key route.

Works will also include realignment of a section of the N73 between Cooldurragha and Powerstown (approximately 7km east of Mallow), realignment of five local road junctions, two combined pedestrian/cycle tracks, construction of two proposed bridges, two underpasses and two culverts, fencing, drainage, landscaping and environmental mitigation.
