The scheme which received approval from An Coimisiún Pleanála on the 7th April 2026, is a proposed major national road project of approximately 17.5 km around Galway City, including a bridge over the River Corrib, two viaducts and two tunnels. Before finalising its main works Procurement Strategy, GCC is seeking feedback and views from the market, including main contractors, design consultants, specialist subcontractors, suppliers and other members of the supply chain, on the key elements of the main works Procurement Strategy.
