The road is expected to open on Friday 11 August.
This is an 8km section of Type 2 Dual Carriageway between Carrigaphooca to the west of Macroom and Tonn Láin to the east of Baile Mhic Íre.
Mayor of County Cork, Cllr Frank O'Flynn, said: "Following on from the opening of the Macroom Bypass Section last December, the opening of this section of the new road will bypass the bad bends on the existing National Primary Route between Baile Bhuirne and Macroom improving road safety for all users."

The new N22 Macroom By-Pass Road will be closed temporarily from 9am on Tuesday, 08 August to Friday, 11 August to allow the safe removal of the temporary roundabout at Carrigaphooca, west of Macroom Town.
The alternative route for Westbound traffic during this closure will be by way of Macroom Town Centre. Eastbound traffic will be able to get on the Macroom By-Pass at the Millstreet Road Junction.
As soon as the N22 reopens to traffic after the closure, road users will be able to travel on 16km of the new dual carriageway between Coolcour Roundabout and Tonn Láin, Baile Mhic Íre. The existing road will be re-designated as the R618.
