Killaloe Bypass, Shannon Bridge Crossing
Project update 07.12.2023
The proposed Killaloe Bypass, Shannon Bridge Crossing and R494 Improvement Scheme will provide a western bypass of Killaloe, a new bridge crossing of the River Shannon and an upgrade of the existing R494 regional road from Ballina to the N7 at Birdhill. The entire scheme is approximately 6.2km and will cross the River Shannon approximately 1km to the south of the existing Killaloe Bridge, and will cross the Kilmastulla River (a tributary of the River Shannon and part of the Lower River Shannon SAC) on the R494.
The first steel beam has been positioned as part of the new Shannon Crossing at Ballina/Killaloe.
The section is 40 metres long and needed a 500 tonne crane to lift it into place.
