Coffey Construction Ltd., on behalf of Galway City Council, is nearing completion of the Ballybane Road and Castlepark Road Active Travel Scheme. The final phase involves full resurfacing of the carriageways on both roads. To ensure the safety of the public and workers during these works, temporary road closures are planned to be implemented in coordination with Galway City Council. Details of these closures are outlined below. 

We appreciate there will be some disruption and thank you for your patience as the project is completed safely.
