==Transport== Ardfert is located on the [[R551 road (Ireland)|R551 regional road]] from [[Tralee]] to [[Ballyheigue]]. The village centre is located at a crossroads between the R551 and several local roads. The traffic is increased by the quarry to the north east of the village which generates HGV traffic movements through the village.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}} During the summer months, the situation is exacerbated by tourist traffic to coastal locations.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}} The [[Tralee]]-[[Ballyheigue]] road at the northern end of the village sees bottleneck delays in traffic into and out of the village.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}} [[Ardfert railway station]], on the line from [[Limerick]] to Tralee via [[Newcastle West]], opened on 20 December 1880.
