Upgrade to Motorway : 26.5 km

A HQDC outer bypass of Galway, to complement its Inner Bypass, completed in stages in the 1990s, was intended to be completed by 2010 but environmental and community opposition has stymied its progress. Nonetheless, it is still scheduled for completion in the next decade. Since it will be to motorway standard and links with the motorway network which is coming together to the east, it should be redesignated to motorway. This change would include the small 5 km section of the mainline N6 out to Athenry which is still currently not motorway either.
