New Limerick motorway to bypass Adare traffic bottleneck

A new motorway through west Limerick will bypass Adare, one of the country’s worst traffic bottlenecks.

However, with planning and land acquistitions, work on the €300m project, which will connect the port of Foynes to Limerick, will not commence for another five years and it will take more than three years to complete.

The 33km route was one of four options identified by Limerick City and County Council and the preferred €300m wide corridor was selected by a project design team after public consultations.
