Galway Bay fm newsroom - Concerns are being raised over the dangerous state of the roads between Tuam and Ballymoe.
The issue was raised at a meeting of the Ballinasloe municipal district by Councillor Declan Geraghty.
He pointed out there's a number of stretches in a particularly terrible condition, such as between Dunmore and Williamstown.
Councillor Geraghty said as someone who drives a truck on those roads, "the wheel would nearly be whipped out of your hands" at times.
Councillor Dermot Connolly agreed and said if Councillor Geraghty thought it a bad experience in a truck, he should try it in a basic tractor.
It was acknowledged that some of the poor surface conditions are due to pipe-laying works as part of the project to bring water from Lough Mask to Williamstown.
Councillor Geraghty believes there is an urgent need for works - to hear more, tune in to Galway Bay fm news on the hour
