N19 Shannon Airport Access Road Improvement Scheme

Project Update  

Clare County Council is progressing the development of the N19 Shannon Airport Access Road Improvement Scheme in partnership with Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the Department of Transport. Fehily Timoney and Clandillon Civil Consulting Joint Venture are the appointed Technical Advisors to advance the project through the planning and design stages. The project is being managed by the Mid West National Road Design Office on behalf of Clare County Council.

The Design Update that was published in July 2024 included a combination of active travel measures for walking and cycling, improvements to public transport, along with new and improved road infrastructure between Drumgeely roundabout and Knockbeagh Point roundabout on approach to Shannon International Airport.

Since the conclusion of the July 2024 Design Update, the design team have further progressed the design and environmental evaluation of the Preferred Option. The Preferred Option has now been finalised following extensive stakeholder engagement and detailed consideration of environmental surveys, transport surveys and ground investigations. The design team are now working towards the finalisation of the Statutory Documentation required as part of the proposed planning application for submission to An Bord Pleanála.

Updated drawings are now available for viewing on the project website www.shannonaccess.ie, with hardcopy maps on display at Clare County Council’s Head Office in Ennis and Shannon Municipal District Office.
