Galway Bay fm newsroom - Design options are being finalised for the upgrade of Martin roundabout at Galway Clinic to a signalised junction.
The design is expected to progress to planning in the next few weeks.
The junction will provide primary access to Ardaun at the southern section which will provide bus priority, as well as full pedestrian and cyclist crossing facilities.
It’s being provided as part of an overall plan to develop the Ardaun area for housing.
Ardaun is located on 164 hectares on the east side of the city and has been designated as a major urban housing delivery site under the Rebuilding Ireland programme.
2.7 million euro in funding has been sanctioned for the Ardaun upgrade of Martin roundabout under the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund.
