Infrastructure

The Sarfield Road Roundabout in Wilton underwent redevelopment in 2012,[2] to reduce traffic volume in the Wilton area, and improve access to Cork University Hospital from the N40 road.

In July 2016 there was some question as to the accuracy of road signage indicating the boundary between Wilton and Togher.[3]

gollark: Is there anything special about this eggo? I have enough faith in the hub to expect people to not *quite* offer random stuff on everything.https://dragcave.net/lineage/SaeiA
gollark: Wow! Three offers on my trades, two of which are mostly useless! Who would ever guess?
gollark: If he does I'd hope it'd be opensourced.
gollark: If anyone wants and doesn't mind waiting several weeks I can make a buggy unreliable alternative trade hub <@347722964143308800>.
gollark: There is *no other explanation*.
