Limerick City and County Council in consultation with Transport Infrastructure Ireland are working to progress the Foynes to Limerick Road Improvement Scheme.

A provisional 100m wide corridor within which the final road alignment for this scheme was likely to be developed was published in September 2016. Provisional junction locations were also identified at Foynes, Ballyclogh, Askeaton, Rathkeale and Adare.

Subsequently, a study was undertaken to assess the need for an additional junction between Rathkeale and Adare. In March 2017 two further corridor options (pink and green), between Blossomhill (Rathkeale) and Ballycannon (Croagh), were published for consideration together with the provisional 100m corridor (blue) at this location.

Further design work, environmental and surveying activities along with ground investigations have been progressed along the entire route of the proposed Foynes to Limerick Road Improvement Scheme since September 2016. A provisional 80m wide corridor has now been identified and provisional junction layouts have been developed. Click here for further details.
