The Adare Bypass is anticipated to be approximately between six and eight kilometres in length, with a river crossing of the Maigue, and other structures such as overbridges, underbridges and junctions as required to integrate with the existing road network.

Limerick County Council engaged Consultants Jacobs to assist them in:

• Identifying obstacles or constraints of the scheme
• Recommending a route corridor for the new roadway
• Identifying land required for the scheme
• Managing the process in line with the requirements of the NRA's National Roads Project Management Guidelines, phases 2, 3 and 4

The following steps are involved in selecting the route :

• Constraints Study
  A Constraints Study is carried out to determine any physical, procedural, legal, environmental or heritage constraints that could affect the design, or delay progress, or influence the cost of the scheme.
  
• Route Selection
  In this phase, a number of possible alternative routes are identified, these are assessed & shortlisted and a preferred route corridor is selected based on Engineering, Environmental, and Economic criteria
  
• Preliminary Design /
  CompulsoryPurchase Order /
  Environmental Impact
  A specimen design will be completed to allow the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) to be prepared, and for the Environmental Impacts to be assessed.
