Date Published: 07-Feb-2008
Residents and landowners between Tuam and Galway have until Friday week [feb 15] to make submissions on the proposed M17 motorway to An Bord Pleanala.
The 25 kilometre long motorway isn’t expected to become a reality before 2012, but it’s already at an advanced design stage with Galway county council.
The proposed motorway is 25.5 kilometres long and will stretch from Rathmorrissy outside Galway city to the existing N17 where it will join the proposed Tuam Bypass.
Compulsory Purchase Orders were issued before Christmas to 180 landowners along the length of the route according to project engineer Fintan O’Meara.
The closing date for submissions to An Bord Pleanala is Friday 15 Feb
