Regional and local roads across County Mayo have been allocated funding of €40.5 million by the Department of Transport.
This funding has been granted with the aim of improving road safety, connectivity and resilience against extreme weather conditions.
Minister Dara Calleary has welcomed this vital funding, but says that Government funded roads projects in Mayo are ‘slow to move’.
He says that he will continue to work with his Fianna Fáil colleagues on Mayo County Council to ensure that these road upgrades are delivered soon.
Here is a list of some of the roads where funding has been allocated:
R332 Kilmaine to Tuam (Foxhall) upgrade – €1.2 million
