Project Update
Clare County Council is progressing the N19 Shannon Airport Access Road Improvement Scheme in partnership with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and the Department of Transport (DoT). Fehily Timoney and Company and Clandillon Civil Consulting are the appointed Technical Advisors to advance the project through the planning and design stages. The project is being managed by the Mid West National Road Design Office on behalf of Clare County Council.
The Design Update that was published in July 2024 included a combination of active travel measures for walking and cycling, improvements to public transport, along with new and improved road infrastructure between Drumgeely roundabout and Knockbeagh Point roundabout on approach to Shannon International Airport.
Since the conclusion of the July 2024 Design Update, the design team have further progressed the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and some additional environmental mitigation measures have been identified as part of this process. An additional area of low canopy tree planting is proposed between Fergus Road and Drumgeely Road and this area has now been identified on the updated drawings. The design team are now working towards the finalisation of the Statutory Documentation required as part of the proposed planning application for submission to An Bord Pleanála.
