The road, which connects the Dublin Road with the Kilcock Road, needs to be developed without "undue delay", according to Fianna Fáil.
TD for Kildare North Frank O Rourke said the plans must be resurrected now.
He said: "A number of years ago, plans were put in place for the construction of a ring road around Clane to reduce the number of disruptive HGV’s travelling through the town centre. In particular, a link road, connecting the Dublin road in Clane to the Kilcock Road should be put to the top of the agenda again.

"Having this link road would take a significant number of HGV's out of the town centre which would maintain the vibrancy of the town while making it a safer place for pedestrians and motorists.
"I see first-hand the detrimental effects that arise as a result of a constant steam of HGV's travelling through the heart of the town. This is something that people raise with me on a weekly basis when I hold my clinic in Clane. I want to assure people that I will continue to raise the issue with Kildare County Council to ensure that a focus is kept on this important project for Clane."
