The road begins at the Bloomfield Interchange on the N40 South Ring Road in Rochestown. It runs southwards as Carr's Hill towards Carrigaline, leaving Cork at the L6477 junction, where it becomes Cork Road. North of Carrigaline, the route passes through the Shannonpark Roundabout and proceeds east through the village of Shanbally to Ringaskiddy.
Prior to the completion of the South Ring, the N28 formed the route from the Bandon Road interchange through the Kinsale Road interchange to where it leaves the N40.
Future Plans
As of 2021, 11 km of motorway was planned on the N28 between Cork and Ringaskiddy, with a final 1.5 km of single carriageway. Following the conclusion of a court challenge, the project was cleared to begin construction in 2021.[1][2] In October 2021, "main works" were expected to commence in 2024.[3] Cabinet approval was expected in April 2025.[4]
Proposed M28 Junctions
The following information is proposed and may not be the outcome. Many of the proposed exits are only able to be joined from southbound, but this could change after completion. The regional road that will replace the existing N28 is still not known.
