Introduction

Clare County Council is progressing the planning and design of the N19 Shannon Airport Access Road Improvement Scheme in partnership with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and the Department of Transport (DoT). The project is being managed by the Mid West National Road Design Office on behalf of Clare County Council. 

The Scheme will provide high quality road and active travel improvements on the N19 between Drumgeely Roundabout and Knockbeagh Point Roundabout. The Scheme will involve an online upgrade of the existing N19 providing new and improved bus infrastructure, upgrades to existing junctions and new high quality active travel infrastructure improving connectivity between Shannon Town, Shannon Free Zone West, Shannon International Airport and the surrounding regions.

Clare County Council appointed Fehily Timoney and Company and Clandillon Civil Consulting as the Technical Consultants to progress the Scheme through Phases 1 to 4 of the TII Project Management Guidelines.
