Councillors in Laois are concerned Mountmellick will struggle to develop without the work.
A Laois town will never fully deliver on its full economic potential without a bypass.
The local authority is set to write to the Transport Minister about a potential N80 double bypass in Mountmellick.
Borris In Ossory/Mountmellick Councillor Conor Bergin says it's a concern of Mountmellick residents for years as the local authority is set to write to the Transport Minister.
A report carried out by them found a possible N80 double bypass in Mountmellick could run from the Portlaoise and Tullamore side to the Emo side from the town.
Fine Gael Councillor Bergin says the current setup is causing concern for residents:
