The N28 road is a national primary road in Ireland. It connects the port and village of Ringaskiddy to Cork city.
The road leaves Cork City from the Bloomfield Interchange on the N40 South Ring Road in Rochestown. It runs southwards towards Carrigaline, joining the Carrigaline Road. North of Carrigaline the route leaves 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 presently leaves the N40 ring road.
As of 2021, 11 km of motorway has been planned on the N28 between Cork and Ringaskiddy, with a final 1.5 km of single carriageway. Although the project was mired in controversy and was protested by locals, the project has been cleared to begin construction.
