Was down there a few times before it opened looks a good piece of work
I think roads like this (and the Waterford Bypass or the N routes into Dublin) really should be some kind of intermediary designation between Motorways and National Routes. Some places in Europe use an expressway designation and I think that would be appropriate. Limited/restricted access like. Min speed 30 say, L plates allowed. But no animals, cyclists or Peds, like a motorway.
These roads are clearly not designed for cyclists and pedestrians. I don’t think we should building roads like that, but clearly we still are and we have in the past.
Nice to see this stretch open but, FFS still no Galway ring road?
Now that they have spent 280m on the bypass, the reduction of road space and the increase of pedestrianisation within the town should be prioritised.
This will be a good test location for the kind of rhetoric from Galway politicians, “if only we build the ring road then we can’t start looking at reducing cars in the city.”
Can we start investing these kinds of sums onto the rail network.
Initially I’d upgrade all the single track sextions to double tracks, minimum
Great news! Buttevent and charleville next please!!
Cool cool cool, whats he doing about the cost of power crisis in the country.
