Cork County Council is responsible for approximately 12% of the State’s roads network. Of this, approximately 94% comprises of regional & local roads. Regional & local roads play a vital role in connecting people & communities & sustaining social & economic development. This is reflected in the fact that regional & local roads carry over 65% of total road traffic in the County.

- Strategic Roads
- Bridge Rehabilitation/Replacement
- Restoration Improvement Programme
- Local Improvement Schemes
- Safety Improvement Schemes

The R&LRDO project manages multiple projects from initial concept through to completion of construction. The following is a summary of the various steps involved in the delivery of a strategic road:
- Project Planning / Desktop Review;
- Traffic Surveys / Topographical Surveys;
- Preliminary Report / Constraints Study;
- Route/Scheme Options & Preferred Route Selection;
- Procuring Consultants (if necessary);
