    MYOB - I know! I don't have great info for Galway. The Oranmore BP opened in 1986 (from a Sabre thread) but the Galway Inner Bypass part that the M6 joins to was sometime from 1995-2000 according to OSI emaps.

    The so called inner bypass (bothar Na dTreabh) was opened in stages between 84 & 96. I can't remember righlty when QB was opened (the quincentenial bit is a hint, Galway celebrated 500 years as a majoral town in 1984). The next two sections (between the Headford & Monviea Rds) were opened up in 1987. The next two linking them into the DC to Oranmore (built in the early 90s) was opened in 1996 (edit - just checked the 1995 OSI map, it's not there so it was '96).

    I can see it was't there in 95, but are you sure it was 96?

    It's a bit sad but you'll notice that on my site I have things like Enfield to Edenderry listed even though this is an R-road - in this day and age you have to take what you can get!

    Not at all!

    With most of the motorways built secondary and regional roads are much in need of improvement.

    Was wandering, basically lost, on the edge of the city near Tyrellstown and noticed some fairly hefty projects underway.

    Some roads were being upgraded from single to dual carriageway and some others (basically country lanes) were being completely realigned.

    Anyone got any details?

    As I say - I was lost!

    I remember it opening during a summer, can't remember was it 95 or 96. Given the fact that it took a few months to build the roads in question (iirc started at about easter) and it's not in the OSI maps for 95 I'm leaning towards 96.

    I'm postive however that it was open in Sept 1996.

    Thanks for that, but I notice roads that opened in 2004 are shown in the 2005 map as still UC, so I think the year is the year they collated their images and the photos were taken the previous year.
    So the Galway road could still have been opened in 1995.

    The bridge itself was started ( just about) in 1984 and was named after the celebrations that took place that year although the work on its approach roads..particularly the eastern one...had started maybe 2 years earlier. It opened around 1987 I think...perhaps 1986. The first bit that opened was Corrib Park to Newcastle road, I think...or else Tuam Road - Ballybrit Roundabout and that would have been in 1984 or so.

    The missing link to finish the DC from Ballybrit to Oranmore could have been opened as late as 1997.

    That was the M2-Blanchardstown/Tyrellstown link road, discussed here. It crept in right under our noses!

    With most of the motorways built secondary and regional roads are much in need of improvement.

    The motorways that are built are all south of Galway and east of Maynooth. So before they start looking at these secondary roads in these parts they may want to look at the primary roads of a massive part of the country whose roads have been neglected.

    Even if they managed a motorway Maynooth to SLigo or even Longford, it would keep most of the West happy as lots of us could join in half way to Dublin at Longford. Or even get some start on the Tuam Bypass. The N17 and N5 still remain some of the most difficult and dangerous roads to drive in the country. Pity the money assigned for the BMW area by europe wasn't spent in the disadvantaged BMW area by the previous goverment.

    not to mention that the M17 will finish a bare 40km from the biggest town in Mayo, Castlebar, and only 20km from Claremorris and Ballyhaunis.
    And Westport is "behind" Castlebar so also benefits from the motorway linkup as they have to go via Castlebar where they are only 40km from the Motorway.

    when that is finished you will suddenly see mayo people clambering to have the road to Tuam from Mayo being upgraded as the N5 will become irrelevant to a swathe of the south of the county!

    The ballindine section to Milltown(all in Galway) is the worst piece of road between sligo and Limerick, so i will be looking for it to be done. Five people killed on it in the just the last year alone.
    The Mayo section is relatively okay, then they need to start on the curry to colloney section:D

    M17 won't be tolled based on the information I've researched.

    This has been discussed a few times on the M17/18 project thread.

    There is no planning permission for a toll (let alone 2 as has been suggested) and changing the plans now would probably require extra land to be purchased.

    Unless they go the M50 route with barrier free tolling,there will be no toll on this road. The barrier free option is costing the M50 operators a lot of money to run, so its unlikely that this will be a viable option for a new concession.

    N17 Castletown bends scheme ( between Tuam and Milltown) starting this month. About 1km long. This scheme was originally tendered in 2008 but abandoned and retendered.

    http://www.galwaynews.ie/25158-major-works-begin-n17
    Realignment works between Tuam and Milltown at the Castletown junction are expected to begin in two weeks time.
    Contracts were signed this week and work on the road is expected to be finished by the end of the year.

    The Milltown-Ballindine stretch is earmarked for two schemes, probably not this year though.

    In fairness how many times have we been told that NX/N11 will be starting "next quarter"?

    I think a lot of people are in the "I'll believe it when I see them digging" camp when it comes to a lot of these projects.

    N5/N26/N58 Turlough to Bohola
    N5 Westport to Turlough

    Corrections to any of the above (completed, under construction, commencements) most welcome.

    The widening of the M9-N7 interchange looks to have started based on posts in the M7 thread and AAroadwatch traffic alert, probably worth adding.

    Should also add in the N67 improvement Ballinderreen - Kinvara was under construction last year (as of October, the last time I was out that direction, it was in construction).

    Just as there is no confusion, the widening of the M9 - M7 interchange is a totally different project to the proposed widening of M7 to 3 lanes from Naas to M9, this project will probably commence this year in conjunction ot the new Kerry Foods development in Millenium Park as I believe it's part of the deal

    I would expect the next phase of the Dungloe-Glenties N56 project to go to tender imminently, it was meant to late last year. Land is CPOed and extensive geotech work has been done. This is the hardest section of the route and the most badly needed, as its bypassing the Gweebarra Bends.

    N78 Athy Southern Distributor road has been given the green light
    The monies, from the Dept. of Public Expenditure and Dept. of Transport, will be released in a phased basis.

    is likely to cost €32 million.

    may have to wait a couple of years though

    Martin Heydon, says
    "the commitment is not only there to give ,money to Kildare County Council to progress the detailed design and go to planning, but also to have the money in place for 2015 and 2016, to see the road completed in full

    Screams election stunt to me. Been talking about this for years and no action. They make an announcement and nothing happens for years. I hope I'm wrong of course :(

    START DATES: M17/M18 FINISH DATES: M11 N5 N7 N25 possibly? We did have finish dates in the past when we actually had road schemes worth waiting for...

    Start & End Dates N/M Roads?

    Nice and simple, with no need to rename it. There can be a minor roads thread as well, might help to clear up some clutter.
