DALLAS, Dec. 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) has been

new M28 motorway linking the N40 South Ring Road to the Port of
Cork in Ringaskiddy, in

experience from a wide range of critical transportation
infrastructure projects in Ireland
and globally to support this project," said Jacobs Senior Vice
President Kate Kenny. "We're focused
on helping Cork County Council deliver an improved, user-centric,
sustainable road network that connects communities more
effectively, and drives important social and economic benefits in
the region."
Cork County Council Chief Executive Valerie O'Sullivan added: "This development
forms part of the government's Project Ireland 2040 and will bring
both safety and economic benefits. The scheme includes a number of
active travel measures with an interface with the Lee to Sea
greenway, together with an extension to the existing Ballybrack
Valley Pedestrian and Cycle Scheme in Douglas."
