N2 Clontibret To Castleblayney Bypass Officially Opened
The Minister for Transport, Noel Dempsey TD, has officially opened the new N2 Clontibret to Castleblayney bypass.
The new bypass was delivered on time and on budget.
It is 15.9 km in length and is a realignment of the existing N2 National Primary Route from the townland of Moy Otra north of Clontibret to the town land of Drumcrew south of Castleblayney town.
The N2 National Primary Route is the main arterial route from Dublin to Derry, Donegal and the northwest.
Speaking at the bypass opening today Minister Dempsey said: "The opening of this new bypass today is another major milestone in the upgrading of our national road network. It is indicative of the efforts being made by Government countrywide to improve the internal road transport infrastructure between regions and within regions."
So far this year €52 million has been allocated for national roads in the country. Investment in the BMW region is at an all-time high.
It is hoped the new bypass will cut journey times and ease traffic congestion in Clontibret and Castleblayney.
