Some minor finishing works around The Old Oak building will continue after the festival while works at Gas Terrace and the New Road section will continue beyond the festival, with Gas Terrace expected to reopen well in advance of the Christmas trading period.
“We appreciate that these enhancement works have had a significant impact on many businesses over recent months,” said Sandra Rusk, President, Tralee Chamber Alliance.
“While there is never an ideal time for a project of this scale, we also recognise the long-term benefits it will bring to Tralee, and we appreciate the patience and understanding shown by businesses throughout the works,” she added.
