Attention turns to next steps for approved City Ring Road

After the announcement of approval for the Galway City Ring Road, attention now turns to what happens next.

The proposed 18-kilometre road would run from the M6 motorway on the outskirts of the city to west of Bearna.

This version of the road was approved in 2021 - but permission was withdrawn when it was ruled it had not taken the Government's latest climate action plan into account.

This morning, Galway's local authorities learned that the project has been given the final stamp of approval.
