Date Published: 27-Feb-2013
It’s hoped that work on the final section of the M17/M18 motorway from Gort to Tuam will get underway by the end of this year.
Minister of State and Galway East TD Ciaran Cannon says there has been a commitment of 20 million euro from the Department of Public Expenditure as an initial deposit to get negotiations underway.
Speaking on Galway Talks, Minister Cannon says the Public Private Partnership (PPP) project will be a key piece of infrastructure for the West of Ireland and will create hundreds of construction jobs.
Director of Services at Galway County Council Frank Gilmore has welcomed the public commitment but says he’ll be seeking further talks with the NRA and the Department of Transport.
