The new Briarhill Junction, which has replaced the former roundabout, has been completed on time and on budget, and will be operational from today.
According to the Galway City Council, the lights at the junction will be on from 11.30am/12 noon. The works were budgeted to be €1.1 million and came in on target.
There will now be four lanes from the approach road from the Galway Clinic (two straight ahead and one left and one right ); the layout of the roadway coming from Ballybrit Racecourse will also have four lanes (two straight ahead and one left and one right ), an increase of two lanes from what was there before; the road from Galway Airport will have four lanes (two right, one straight ahead, and one left ); while the road from Doughiska will have three lanes, one in each direction.
