#Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien has officially opened the €88m
#Killaloe Bypass project in
#Ireland which includes the first new vehicular bridge over the
#Shannon in over 30 years. The 6.2km development links Killaloe (Co
#Clare) and Ballina (Co
#Tipperary), easing congestion, improving road safety, and boosting tourism and the local economy. The Brian Ború Bridge, completed over 2.5 years, is central to the scheme, which also upgrades the R494 and introduces new pedestrian and cycling routes. This project, part of the National Development Plan, will enhance connectivity, protect heritage towns, and support regional development, benefiting both communities and the broader Shannon region.
