The Need for the Project:
Gá leis an dtionscnamh:
The N7 National Primary Route is the main link between Dublin and Limerick, a distance
of approximately 200 Km. The National Development Plan 2000-2006 identified that
urgent improvements to this link are needed. The road was outlined in the plan
to be developed as a motorway/high quality dual carriageway.
Limerick County Council acting on its own behalf and on the behalf of North
Tipperary County Council, in partnership with the National Roads
Authority (NRA), is developing a new 38km road between Nenagh
and Limerick. The 38km project consists of 28km motorway standard
cross section in a green field site and the widening of the Nenagh
Bypass to dual carriageway standard.
