The Limerick Southern Ring Road Phase II will be a grade separated dual carriageway with interchanges to existing and proposed roads, a river crossing of the Shannon and other structures such as overbridges, underbridges and link roads as required to access the existing road network.

Phase II is a continuation of the existing Southern Ring Road project and will extend the Phase I section to join the N20 to the N18. This scheme will complete the Limerick Southern Ring Road and link all the national roads coming into Limerick:

N18 Ennis Road
N69 Dock Road from Foynes
N20 / N21 Cork / Kerry Road

The Project Steering Committee has engaged Consultants MC O'Sullivan & Company Ltd and COWI of Denmark to assist them in

• Evaluating the need for the scheme
• Recommending a route for the new road
• Identifying land required for the scheme
• Satisfying the requirements of the NRA National Roads Project Management Guidelines, phases 2, 3 and 4

• Constraints Study - completed. A Constraints Study has been carried out to determine any physical, procedural, legal, environmental constraints that could affect the design or delay progress and influence the cost of the scheme.
• Route Selection.
• Preliminary Design / Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) / Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - sufficient design will be carried out to allow CPO to proceed and an EIS to be prepared.
