M21 - Limerick to Rathkeale/Foynes [advance works to commence shortly]

From the website.

There have been four amendments to Route Corridor Option 3 (Orange) since the public consultation in March 2015 as described and shown in the map below:

Moving the corridor by approximately 350m to the north in the townlands of Rincullia and Craggs to avoid a sensitive ecological habitat along the Ahacronane River.

Moving the corridor by approximately 250m to the east in the townlands of Boolaglass and Nantinan to further avoid a Cashel in Milltown North which is subject to a Preservation Order under the National Monuments Acts.

Moving the corridor by approximately 100m to the west in the townland of Kyletaun to further avoid St Joseph’s Cemetery.

Including a section of Route Corridor Option 1 (Red) to connect with the existing N69 to the west of Askeaton through the townlands of Ballyellinan, Ballycullen and Cloonreask.

I can see a lot of HGV's not using it as they went such a round about way. Wont be too much time saved for them.

It'll be a straight wide road that stays out of towns and villages and connects directly to the M20, M7, N18 and N21, unlike the current N69. I'd be amazed if they didn't use it.
