N17 /N18 Gort to Tuam PPP Scheme :. Barry Transportation

In the summer of 1999 our first appointments were for the M3 Navan to Dunshaughlin and the N52 Mullingar to Belvedere schemes. A year later, we consolidated our partnership and formed an incorporated company, Halcrow Barry Limited, in August 2000.

We have over the last 18 years developed organically a large team of well qualified, very experienced and competent Engineers and Project Managers, located regionally in our offices in Castlebar, Dublin and Cork.

From the 1st of March 2018 the company formerly known as Halcrow Barry and latterly CH2M Barry is now Barry Transportation. Our teams working with you on current schemes will remain the same, we are committed to maintaining the excellent level of service on all existing projects and look forward to applying our capacity developed over the past two decades to the challenging future development of the country’s infrastructure.

Project Description

The N17 /N18 Gort to Tuam PPP Scheme is approximately 57 km in length and commences at the northern extremity of the N18 Gort Crusheen scheme which is currently under construction. The road is expected to extend in a northerly direction with junctions at: Kiltiernan connecting to the N67; Rathmorrissy connecting to the new N6 Dublin Galway Route; Annagh Hill connecting to the N63; and Kilmore south of Tuam, connecting to the existing N17. The road will be of motorway standard from Gort to the junction at Kilmore near Tuam, a distance of 53.2 kilometres.

The road is then expected to continue with a dual carriageway type 2 cross section on a route passing to the west of Tuam town, to its termination point on the N17 north of Tuam at Mountpotter, a distance of 4.2 kilometres.

The Project is anticipated to include the following principal features:

Three grade separated junctions at Kiltiernan (N67), Rathmorrissy (N6), and Annagh Hill (N63), and a roundabout junction at Kilmore (N17);
Two Railway Bridges – one over the live Galway-Dublin line and the second over the currently disused Athenry-Claremorris line near Tuam;
Five River Bridges over the Clarinbridge, Dunkellin, Abbert, Grange and Nanny Rivers;
Thirty-one Road Bridges; and
Twelve minor structures, such as accommodation underpasses and culverts.
