Seven years on — Kilbannon road project is set to start
Work on the long-awaited on the multi-million euro Kilbannon Road realignment project is expected to begin before summer with a contractor due to be appointed in the coming weeks
The project, first initiated by a local campaign in 2017, will realign the one kilometre stretch of R332 from Duddy’s Pub to Kilconly GAA pitch on the outskirts of Tuam.
The blackspot has been highlighted as a danger for pedestrians and cyclists using the route.
