Sisk gave a talk back in march 2015 at the gmit it looks like the will be on target

sdanseo · 02-07-2017 02:18PM

Road essentially finished in a good 18 pics in a row there M17. Stunning update and brilliant to see it all coming together.

Interesting that Sisk knew the wearing course would precede the opening by 6 months. What was planned for that big of a gap in the first place? Not 6 months of testing surely?

While the M17/bypass may be finished in 4 wks the associated works won't be. GCC are planning to resurface the entire of the existing N17 thru Tuam town once the bypass is open. I wouldn't be surprised to see them continue with the new cycle lane in towards the town & country as well

Is there a reason for this footpath / cyclelane being stopped half way out the milltown road..? Was a new fire station to go into the site on the left as you come into tuam town..? That could be a long way off but maybe they have decided not to put a new path down if that site will be developed..

Is there a running road race on this new motorway? I heard from someone that there is.

Thanks

There is a 50/100km cycle event before it opens.

Haven't heard about a running race.
