Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has inaugurated the new N59 Maigh Cuilinn bypass in Co Galway. The bypass, created in collaboration with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and Galway County Council, was completed over the past two years and is funded by the Department of Transport.
The new road aims to significantly shorten travel times between Galway City and Connemara, providing more efficient journeys for commuters, students, and those accessing public services. The bypass will alleviate local congestion and enhance road safety.
comprises the construction of a 4.3km standard single carriageway road bypass of Maigh Cuilinn (Moycullen) village and all ancillary works.
The project is located entirely within County Galway and extends from the townland of Drimcong approx. 1.5km north-west of Maigh Cuilinn (Moycullen) village to the townland of Claídeach (Clydagh) approx. 2km south-east of Maigh Cuilinn (Moycullen) village.
