Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway city council is awaiting approval from Transport Infrastructure Ireland for the awarding of a contract for a major redevelopment of the Kirwan roundabout on the city’s Headford road.
The multi-million euro project will see the current five-arm roundabout transformed into a four-arm traffic light junction.
Its aim is to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion at peak times and offer increased safety to pedestrians and cyclists.
Previous estimates stated that around 40 thousand vehicles pass through the Kirwan roundabout every day between the hours of 7am and 7pm.
A spokesperson for Galway city council says it's expected that the contract will be awarded this month.
