Brian Kennedy, Director of Services, Physical Development Directorate at Limerick City and County Council, said: “This project is identified in the National Development Plan as a major enabler for balanced regional development by substantially delivering the Atlantic Economic Corridor, with a high quality road network linking Cork, Limerick and Galway.
Limerick City and County Council welcome the appointment of Barry Transportation and their project partners WSP and Sweco as Technical Advisors. Together with our partners in Cork County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, we are committed to delivering this major national infrastructural project.”
“We are delighted to be working with Limerick City and County Council on the planning process for this vital arterial route, which will improve journey times and journey time reliability between Cork and Limerick” says Liam Prendiville, Director at Barry Transportation.
The concept and feasibility phase (Phase 1) of the planning and design will commence this month, with Barry Transportation, WSP and Sweco, providing all engineering, environmental, economic and appraisal services required to deliver the project through the planning and design phases.

Barry Transportation are delighted to be shortlisted for the Engineers Ireland Geoscience Award, sponsored by @geoscienceirl for the Ballygaddy Bridge-Bespoke Treatment of Karst Feature. This water bearing, sand filled, linear, active karst feature was caused by an historic fault and measured 3.5m wide, 20m long and 13m deep. Barry Transportation with our Contractor @roadbridge designed and constructed a concrete karst slab founded on rock to span the void. The solution was designed and constructed within one month of discovery.

The M17 M18 Gort to Tuam PPP Scheme is 53km of Motorway and 4km of Dual carriageway forming part of the Atlantic corridor outlined under Transport 21. The M17 M18 will significantly improve safety, reduce journey times, improve connectivity and will assist in the economic development of the BMW regions. The project was complex due to the karst present, soft ground, structures, drainage challenges presented by hydrogeology, sensitive aquifers, flooding, environmental commitments and the construction of Ireland’s first Motorway over a live Motorway.
