Limerick City and County Council, in partnership with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, is developing the N21 Abbeyfeale Road Scheme.

Limerick City and County Council has appointed Jacobs Engineering Ireland Limited as Technical Advisors to progress the planning and design phases for the Scheme.

The Scheme is currently at Options Selection Stage (Phase 2) and the feasible route corridors have yet to be determined.

The restrictions associated with the COVID 19 pandemic have impacted on the progress of various aspects of this scheme's development. 

Preliminary route corridor options are currently being generated and assessed against the constraints within the study area and appraised against the objectives for the Scheme.

These route corridor options will be further refined in the coming months, culminating in a public consultation process where the shortlisted route corridor options will be made available for public review and comment.

Limerick City and County Council is currently scheduling to hold this public consultation process, restrictions permitting, in late Q1 2021 with the intention of having a preferred option chosen by the end of 2021. However, these dates are subject to further review.
