    Just noticed that Street View on Google Maps shows the bypass during the upgrade works.

    Photos now from 2011 in most cases. The old ones taken in 2009.

    Is there any chance this will be upgraded to motorway so that there isnt a break in the m6 motorway?

    None, as it is the only east-west route that avoids the town for all classes of traffic. If it was a motorway the non motorway traffic would clog up the town.

    Probably cheaper and easier to build a parallel non-motorway bridge across the Shannon than a new motorway south of Athlone.

    Assuming, of course, that anyone wants a motorway past Athlone :cool:

    I believe the planners looked at that, but it was far too expensive.
