It's expected the works will take around 2 years to complete.
The first sod was officially turned this morning by Galway West TD and Junior Minister Hildegarde Naughton, at a site north-east of the village.
Speaking to Galway Talks, Minister Naughten says the project was first flagged as early as the 1970s.
