Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Seán Canney, has officially opened the Parkmore Road Bus Priority Scheme which has facilitated the expansion of the Bus Éireann operated bus route into Parkmore Business Park West.

2.4km of segregated cycle lanes to be constructed along both sides of Ballybane Road and Castlepark Road.

Scheme will also enhance safety for walkers and wheelers, and cyclists while making active travel more attractive.

Roadworks will begin on Castlepark Road from Monday 3 March, as part of the Ballybane Road and Castlepark Road Cycle Network Scheme.

Galway City Council is pleased to provide an early Christmas present to workers and residents in Parkmore with confirmation that works on the Parkmore Bus Priority Project have been completed ahead of schedule. It had been expected that construction works would continue into the first months of 2025, but works are now substantially complete in advance of the Christmas period.

Improvement works on the existing cycle lane and footpath on Headford Road are commencing this week, and are due to be completed within four weeks.

Galway City Council welcomes the positive decisions of An Bord Pleanála to grant consent for the BusConnects Galway: Cross-City Link (University Road to Dublin Road) project.
