Introduction

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 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 Scheme will provide high quality road and active travel improvements on the N19 between Drumgeely Roundabout and Knockbeagh Point Roundabout. The Scheme will involve an online upgrade of the existing N19 providing new and improved bus infrastructure, upgrades to existing junctions and new high quality active travel infrastructure improving connectivity between Shannon Town, Shannon Free Zone West, Shannon International Airport and the surrounding regions.

Since the conclusion of Design Update No. 1 in March 2023, the team has been further progressing the design and environmental evaluation. The design has now been finalised following extensive stakeholder engagement and detailed consideration of environmental surveys, transport surveys and ground investigations.
