Galway M6 Stretch Opens
The final section of the new Galway to Dublin motorway has opened, cutting the journey time between the two cities to approximately two hours.
The new 56km stretch of the M6 runs from Ballinasloe to the outskirts of Galway city and has been completed four months ahead of schedule.
Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey cut the ribbon on the new motorway east of Ballinasloe and noted that it was built at a cost of €427m, and will save up to 30 minutes in journey time between Galway and Ballinasloe.
However, motorists will have to pay a toll of €1.90 near Ballinasloe and €2.90 on the M4 Kinnegad toll.
