Road repairs and improvements works on the Old Kenmare Road in Killarney National Park are due to commence on Monday next and will involve a €382,000 investment in the reconstruction of the road.

The Old Kenmare road (locally known as the Tanks Road) from the junction of the N71 to the upper car park at Torc, will be closed to all vehicular, cycling and pedestrian access from Monday 17th May to Monday 12th July to facilitate the repairs.

The project forms part of the Killarney Municipal District Schedule of Works Programme for 2021 and is funded via an Outdoor Recreational Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) to the value of €250,000 and a Local Improvement Scheme investment to the value of €132,000.

Kerry County Council in conjunction with Killarney National Park request the public not to park at the junction of the Old Kenmare road and the N71 as this will impede construction traffic entering and exiting the site.

For those wishing to access the boardwalk on Torc Mountain they can do so by parking at the car parks at Springfield or at Torc Waterfall, and then use the existing trail network to access the Old Kenmare Road.
