Cork Northern Distributor Multi-Modal Road
In 2025, plans for the "Cork Northern Distributor Multi-Modal Road", an outer ring road north of the existing R635, were published for public consultation.[3][4] The new road, which has been the subject of objections from Glanmire residents,[5] and praise from Cork businesspeople,[6] would span c. 14 km, linking the Glanmire Road to the N22, 3 km west of Carrigrohane.[4] The road could alleviate congestion around Apple Inc.'s European headquarters, with its 6,000 employees.[7] Earlier plans from the National Transport Authority in 2020, showed the road meeting the N8 on Cork's east quays.[8]
