The new CBS Kilkenny school will open in September

Kilkenny Live readers have shared their views on the on the impending road traffic situation on the Dunningstown Road upon the opening of the new CBS Secondary School in the city.

Cllr David FitzGerald claimed he was 'genuinely concerned we'll see people get frustrated', adding, "This could be as controversial a scheme we've seen in the city for some time."

It's understood there will be an approximate 1km link road from the Freshford Road to the new CBS School, with improvements to the road including a signalised junction at the link road crossing also set to be completed before the new academic year.

Furthermore, Lousybush Lane will offer students a pedestrianised access road to the school but those works won't be completed in time for the new academic year with the project currently at the tendering stage. - READ MORE HERE

"Maybe should’ve finished the Ring Road instead of making a balls of the bridge roundabout," one commenter said.

"I'm dreading it when school is back. Bus route from Loughboy is zero traffic will be mayhem I wouldn't even like my son cycling over there from Loughboy roads be way too busy and dangerous," another added.

"God help us when the schools reopen," one lady posted.

"They are well aware of the traffic situation but don't give a s**t. They don't have to seat in there cars for 30 minutes to try get out of the Butts," another reader argued.
