Once complete, HGVs won't have to travel through the town.

A €100,000 scoping study for a link road aimed at improving traffic flow in an Offaly town is being undertaken.

The first part of the development - which will link the Tullamore and Banagher roads from Birr - is already underway.

Once complete, it will mean that heavy goods vehicles will no longer have to enter Birr to get from the N52 to the N62.

Councillor John Carroll says it will make a huge difference to those travelling through the town:
